If the engine fails to start, release the key, and
then try starting again. Wait a few seconds
before the next attempt. Each cranking should
be as short as possible to preserve battery
energy. Do not crank the engine more than
5 seconds on each attempt.

the starter (choke) in this position to
warm up the engine.
