NOTE
Whether cold or warm, the engine
should be started without use of
the accelerator.
If the engine fails to start, it may be
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).
Follow this procedure:
1. Depress the accelerator all the way
and hold it there.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the
START position and hold it
there—for up to 10 seconds. If the
engine starts, release the key and
accelerator immediately because
the engine will suddenly rev up.
3. If the engine fails to start, crank it
without using the accelerator—for
up to 10 seconds.
