3. If the engine fails to start:
(a) Wait until the engine comes to a complete
stop before you attempt to start it again.
Engaging the starter while the engine is still
rotating will result in damage to the starter
motor and flywheel.
(b) Wait at least 30 seconds before you attempt
to start the engine again. This pause will
allow the battery voltage to recover to
prevent damage to the starter motor due to
the low battery voltage.
