Cold Starting Procedure
The carburetor on this engine is equipped with a fuel
primer and a choke system. To start a “cold” engine
properly, perform the following procedure:
1. Pump the primer bulb until fuel can be seen flow-
ing through the fuel return line to the fuel tank.
(Flowing fuel should be almost clear, not foamy or
full of bubbles.)
2. Turn the choke lever to the Close position.
3. With the stop switch “ON”, and the throttle trig-
ger positioned at Fast-idle position, pull the starter
grip.
After the engine is started, turn the choke lever to the
Open position. Then squeeze and release the throttle
trigger to allow it to return to the idle position.
If the engine stops running before you turn the choke
lever to the open position:
Go ahead and open the choke, pull the starter grip with
the throttle trigger positioned at Fast-idle position.
