ger. Keep throttle trigger fully
squeezed until the engine runs
smoothly.

gine runs, but no more than 5
pulls.
5. Allow engine to run 15 seconds,
then move the choke lever to the

NOTE: If engine has not started, pull
starter rope 5 more pulls. If engine still
does not run, it is probably flooded.
STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
Flooded engines can be started by

CHOKE position; then, pull the rope to
clear the engine of excess fuel. This
could require pulling the starter handle
many times depending on how badly
the unit is flooded.
