OPERATION
Starting The Engine
NOTE: The engine will not start if the lanyard lock plate is removed
from the engine stop switch.
7. Move/pull t he choke lever (if equipped, not shown) all the way
out. If the engine is already warm do not use t he choke.
IMPORTANT: The choke is located near the mirror of some
models.
8. Push the starter switch (B) with your left hand while easing the
throttle open with your right hand.
9. As soon as the engine starts, release the starter switch and throttle.
Only enough throttle should be applied to keep the engine running.
10. After the engine starts, slowly reduce the amount of choke until
the engine is warm and choking is no longer required.
NOTE: The choke system functions best with the t hrottle partially
opened. This will aid in cold starting. Release the throttle as soon as
the engine starts.
NOTE: If the engine was run out of gas or the fuel/water separator
bowl drained, it may take two or three attempts to start. Do not run the
starter for more than ten seconds at a time as damage to the starter may
result.
NOTE: Direct injected models do not have a manual choke.
