Starting a warm engine

Follow the same procedure as for start-
ing a cold engine with the exception
that the starter (choke) is not required
when the engine is warm. Instead, start
the engine with the throttle slightly
open.
TIP
If the engine does not start after sever-
al kicks, try again with the throttle 1/4
to 1/2 open.
