To restart a warm engine, leave the Choke in the RUN position.
2. Open the Fuel Valve.
3. Turn the Engine Switch to ON.
4. Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine loosely and
pull it slowly several times to allow the gasoline
to flow into the Engine's carburetor. Then pull
the Starter Handle gently until resistance is felt.
Allow Cable to retract fully and then pull it quickly.
Repeat until the engine starts. Note: Do not let
the Starter Handle snap back against the engine.
Hold it as it recoils so it doesn't hit the engine.
note: If engine does not start, check engine oil level.
Engine will not start with low or no engine oil.
5. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds. Then, if the Choke lever is in the
START position, move the Choke Lever very slowly to its RUN position.
note: Moving the Choke Lever too
fast could stall the engine.
iMpOrtant: Allow the engine to run at no load for five minutes with no
load after each start‑up so that the engine can stabilize.
