G26M Pull-starting the Engine
With an assistant holding the boat to the boat
stand and bracing the engine with one hand, pull
the starting cord briskly several times. Once the
engine fires (begins to start), open the choke.
Prolonged choking will flood the engine with fuel.
See Section 15: Troubleshooting Guide to correct
the flooding condition.
Note: The engine is water-cooled.
Refrain from running the engine
without proper cooling water or
engine damage will result. Carefully
place the boat in the water as soon
as possible after the engine has
been started.
