Starting The Engine - Honda GX22 Owner's Manual

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Turn the engine switch to the ON position (on the equipment side).
2. Move the choke lever to the CLOSE position.
NOTE:
Do not use the choke if the engine is warm or the air temperature is high.
3. Press the priming pump several times until a fuel flow in the fuel return tube is visually noticed.
4. Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent
damage to the starter.
NOTE:
Always pull the starter grip briskly. If not pulled briskly, sparks may fail to jump across the spark plug
electrodes, resulting in failure to start the engine.
