If the engine does not start on the first try,

repeat the procedure. If the engine fails to
start after 4 or 5 tries, open the throttle a
small amount (between 1/8 and 1/4) and
try again. Also if the engine is warm and
fails to start, open the throttle a same
amount and try to start the engine again. If
the engine still fails to start, see page 46.
Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully

closed position so that the engine does not
stall.

ately. NOTICE: Do not attempt to run the
