STARTING

Verifications before starting the motor

Check that the top cowling is locked, that the free-
lock mechanism is in the lock position and that the
gear-shift lever is in the neutral position ( N ).
Make sure that the lock plate is installed on the
engine stop switch.

Starting procedures

Open the fuel cock (for integrated tank models) Picture No.44
Loose the safety valve on the fuel tank.
Fill up the carburettor with fuel using the little hand pump ( you
have reached your aim, when the pump has become firm ). If
your engine is cold, you have to pull the choke knob.
Place the throttle-grip in the "start" position. Picture No. 47.
Pull the starter-handle slowly so that the starter pinion engages
with the flywheel.
Set the choke knob to home position.
Pull the starter-handle powerfully until the engine starts. If
necessary, repeat the procedure.
You don't need to use the choke-knob, if the engine is
warm.

should refer to the troubleshooting section.
In case of start of the models with intagrate tank
following the stop of the engine caused from fuel
exaustion, after refueling pull the choke knob with
warm motor. This procedure make easier the filling of
the carburator

Verifications when the motor is on

Just after starting the motor, you should make sure that :
after 5/10 seconds, water runs out from the cooling-
-
water pilot-holes. The indicator at the entrance of
the circuit, provides only for the proper operation of
the pump and not for the circulation of water in the
head and in the cylinder . That means that possible
shortages will not be indicated.
If water does not flow from the pilot-holes check to
see if the water-inlets are blocked. Picture No. 51;
- that you do not hear any strange noise;
- that the throttle-grip operates in a proper way;
- that the gear shift lever operates properly and that
with the reverse gear selected the motor does not
rise;
- that the engine stop switch operates properly;
