Starting Off - Skyteam ST50-8 Operation Instruction Manual

Always start the engine with the transmission in neutral.
WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD
Turn the choke lever from "A" position to "B" position, push the electric
starter button or depress the kick starter lever to start the engine.
Immediately after the engine starts, let the engine run until the engine
sufficiently warms up, then return the choke lever to its original position.
When the engine runs smoothly and the choke lever is in its disengaged
position, the engine is warmed up sufficiently. The more cool is the
temperature, the more time is needed for warming up the engine.
WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM
Open the throttle by 1/8 to 1/4, push the electric starter button or depress
the kick starter lever. The operation of the carburetor choke system is
usually not necessary when the engine is warm(the choke lever should be at "A" position).
If 2~3 times operation can not start the engine, open the throttle grip 1/8 to 1/4 turn, then
restart the engine.
A motorcycle not used for long-time or poor vaporized fuel may cause difficult starting, in
this time, don't turn the throttle grip, but repeatedly start the engine.
