XIMUM FAST
3. When the engine is cold or the
ambient temperature is low, lift and
hold the choke/fast idle lever up
fully. This will provide a rich fuel
mixture and the correct fast idle.
When the engine is warm, raise the
free acceleration lever to the
MAXIMUM FAST IDLE position
and hold it in the position.
The choke/fast idle lever will not move
unless the control lever is in the
N
(neutral) position.

position, turn the ignition key to the
START position and release the key

seconds wait at least 10 seconds
before using the starter motor again.
m Do not turn the ignition
key to the start position while the
CHOKE/FAST
IDLE LEVER
engine is running. This can damage
the starter motor and flywheel.
5. After starting the engine, return the
lever slowly to the position where
the engine does not stall and hold
the lever in the position.
The control lever will not move unless
the choke/fast idle lever is returned
to
the lowest position.
