If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, it
may be flooded with excess fuel. To clear a flooded
engine, leave the engine stop switch on
the choke lever down to Fully OFF (B). Open the
throttle fully and crank the engine for 5 seconds. If the
engine starts, quickly close the throttle, then open it
slightly if idling is unstable. If the engine does not start,
wait 10 seconds, then follow the Starting Procedure.
