Advance the control handle to FULL THROTTLE (B)
to clear a flooded engine. In this throttle position, with
the engine speed below 400 RPM (D–cranking
speed), the ECM shuts off the fuel injectors so no fuel
is delivered. When the throttle position is moved back
to neutral, the ECM returns to normal operating mode.
WARNING! Be prepared to quickly move the
control handle to IDLE once the engine starts.
This will avoid over-speeding and possibly dam-
aging the engine.
CAUTION! Immediately after engine start-up,
look at all instruments. If any readings are abnor-
mal, stop the engine and determine the cause.
Starting the Engine (Warm Start)
1. Move the control handle to the NEUTRAL detent
position.
2. Turn the ignition switch to START (II) and hold,
for no longer than ten seconds or until engine
starts. If the engine does not start, let go
momentarily, then try again.
3. As soon as engine starts, release key to ON or
RUN (I).
CAUTION! Never leave the key in the ON (I) po-
sition with the engine not running. Never turn the
key to START (II) when the engine is running. Ei-
ther situation could damage the engine.
NOTE! If the engine floods during a warm start, sim-
ply follow the directions provided in the sec-
tion entitled If the Engine Floods on page 36
to restart the engine.
Stopping the Engine
1. Move the remote control lever to NEUTRAL.
2. Let engine return to idle.
3. Turn ignition key to OFF (0).
CAUTION! Do not stop the engine at speeds
above idle or “speed up” the engine while turning
off the ignition. Do not stop the engine while in
gear or while the boat is moving. Engine damage
could result.
