6. Turn the ignition key clockwise and hold it in
the START position (Fig. 12). When the engine
starts, release the key.
IMPORTANT: Do not run the starter motor
more than 5 seconds at a time or premature
starter failure may result. If the engine fails to
start after 5 seconds, turn the key to the OFF
position, recheck the controls and procedures,
wait 10 additional seconds and repeat the
starting operation; refer to Troubleshooting,
page 44.
7. After the engine starts, gradually move the choke
lever to OFF (Fig. 11). If the engine stalls or
hesitates, move the choke lever back to ON for a
few seconds. Then move the throttle lever to the
desired setting.
Note: Allowing the engine to warm up before
putting it under load will lengthen
engine life.
