Starting an Engine Equipped with Unitized Throttle
and Choke Control
1. For a Cold or Warm Engine – Place the throttle/
choke control into the fast/choke on position.
This will also place the choke into the on
position. See Figure 5-17.

2. Make sure the equipment is in neutral.
3. Activate the starter switch. Release the switch as
soon as the engine starts.
NOTE: Do not crank the engine continuously
for more than 10 seconds at a time.
If the engine does not start, allow a
60 second cool down period between
starting attempts. Failure to follow
these guidelines can burn out the starter
motor.

High Speed (RPM) Adjustment

The recommended maximum no-load high speed
(RPM) for most engines is 3300 RPM. The actual high
speed (RPM) depends on the application. Refer to the
equipment manufacturer's instructions for specific
information.
Do not tamper with the governor setting. Over speed is
hazardous and could cause personal injury.
1. Make sure the throttle cable is adjusted properly
2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up. Place

NOTE: If the engine develops sufficient speed
to disengage the starter but does not
keep running (a false start), engine
rotation must be allowed to come to
a complete stop before attempting
to restart the engine. If the starter is
engaged while the flywheel is rotating,
the starter pinion and flywheel ring gear
may clash, resulting in damage to the
