[Basic settings (chain brake, standard or winter operation, stop switch) as described in the
previous paragraph]
Cold start:
• Pull the choke lever (7) (this also activates the part-throttle setting).
• Using the starter handle, start the engine until you hear it briefly ignite.
Note: the engine cannot start up and continue running while the choke lever is pulled out.
!After the first audible ignition, immediately:
• Press the choke lever back in again.
• Continue starting until the engine runs
• The engine is then running in part throttle.
• Briefly operate the throttle control to cancel the part control setting.
• The engine will then continue to run at idle speed.
Warm start:
Start the engine in idle setting with the choke not pulled out,
or start it in ! part throttle setting:
• by pulling the choke out and pressing it back in again (the part throttle setting is activated as a
result.)
• Start the engine until it runs, then briefly operate the throttle control to cancel the part throttle
setting.
• The engine then runs on at idle speed.
5.3 Engine will not start
If the engine fails to start after several attempts, check whether all adjustments described above have
been correctly carried out, particularly that the stop switch is not in the "stop" position. Try starting
once again. The combustion chamber will be flooded, if the engine still fails to start.
In that case we recommend you proceed as follows:
• Remove the cowl. (chapter. 3.4)
• Pull the spark plug cap off the spark plug.
• Remove the spark plug and dry fuel mixture from the electrodes.
• Move the throttle lever up to full throttle. Pull the starter handle several times (with removed spark
plug) to clear the combustion chamber.
• Move the throttle lever down to idling position, refit the spark plug, the plug cap and the cowl.
• Repeat the starting process according to the starting settings for a warm start in part throttle
setting.
