Starting A Warm Engine - Yamaha SCORPIO 54D Owner's Manual

TIP:
When the transmission is in the neutral
position, the neutral indicator light
should be on, otherwise have a Yamaha
dealer check the electrical circuit.
4. Turn the starter (choke) on and
completely close the throttle. (See
page 3-8.)
5. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch or by pushing the kick-
starter lever down.
TIP :
If the engine fails to start by pushing the
start switch, release the switch, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as short as
possible to preserve the battery. Do not
crank the engine more than 10 seconds
on any one attempt. If the engine does
not start with the starter motor, try using
the kickstarter.
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
6. After starting the engine, move
the starter (choke) back halfway.
NOTICE: For maximum engine
life, always warm the engine
up before starting off. Never
accelerate hard when the engine
is cold!
[ECA11131]
7. When the engine is warm, turn the
starter (choke) off.
TIP :
The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off.
