Starting/Stopping The Engine - Honda FG100 Owner's Manual

Starting The Engine
1. Move the engine switch to the ON position.
2. To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to
the CLOSED (E) position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke
lever in the OPEN position.
3. To start a cold engine, or after refueling an
engine that has run out of fuel, press the
priming bulb repeatedly until fuel can be seen
in the clear-plastic fuel-return tube.
To restart a warm engine, it is not necessary to
press the priming bulb.
4. Place your left hand on the carrying handle
rubber grip and hold it firmly. Make sure your
feet are away from the tiller tines. With your
right hand, pull the starter grip lightly until you
feel resistance, then pull briskly. Return the
starter grip gently.
5. If the choke lever was moved to the
CLOSED (E) position, gradually move it to the
OPEN position as the engine warms up.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
after starting the engine cold.
The tiller tines should not rotate with the engine
idling. If there is rotation at idle, adjust the idle
speed correctly before using the tiller (see
page 24).
Stopping The Engine
1. Release the throttle lever.
2. Move the engine switch to the OFF position.
