Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
6. After starting the engine, move the
starter (choke) back halfway.
CAUTION:
For maximum engine life, always
warm the engine up before starting
off. Never accelerate hard when the
engine is cold!
7. When the engine is warm, turn the
starter (choke) off.
NOTE:
The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off. To avoid the possi-
starting,
bility of excessive exhaust emissions,
never leave the starter (choke) on long-
er than necessary. The time necessary
for starter (choke) use depends upon
the ambient temperature. Tempera-
tures above 10 °C (50 °F) require about
7 seconds of starter (choke) use and
temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F) re-
quire about 35 seconds with the starter
(choke) turned on, then about 2.5 min-
utes with the starter (choke) in the half-
way position.
