Figure 2). Move the throttle/choke control to the
FAST position to increase engine speed, and to the
SLOW position to decrease engine speed. Move
the throttle/ choke control past the FAST position to
the CHOKE position to start a cold engine. A warm
engine may not require choking.

choke control in the FAST position.
