OPERATION
PRIMING THE
CARBURETOR WITH
GASOLINE (When using the
internal fuel tank)
When starting the engine for the first
time, or when starting the engine after
the carburetor has been drained, the
carburetor must be primed with
gasoline before the engine will start.
To prime the carburetor, remove the
emergency stop switch clip from the
outboard motor, and then pull the
starter grip about 10 times.
If you do not fill fuel to the upper
level of the internal fuel tank, fuel
loading to the carburetor may be
insufficient.
