6. Turn the ignition key to the START position. If the engine is cold, push the
key in to choke the engine while cranking. If the engine fails to start in ten
seconds, wait 30 seconds and try again. If the engine begins to stall, push
the key in (choke) until the engine is running smoothly.
IMPORTANT: If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole, stop
the engine and check the cooling water intake for obstruction. No obstruction
may indicate a water pump failure or blockage in the cooling system. These
conditions will cause the engine to overheat. Have the outboard checked by
your dealer. Operating the engine while overheated will cause engine damage.
WARMING UP ENGINE
Before beginning operation, allow the engine to warm up at idling speed for
three minutes.
