6. On carbureted models for a cold
engine, move the choke lever to
the full-choke position. If the
engine is warm, choking is nor-
mally not necessary.
 NOTE: On carbureted models
when the engine is being started
with aid of the choke, DO NOT
COMPRESS THE THROTTLE CON-
TROL LEVER. If the throttle control
lever is compressed, the engine
will not start because the gas/air
mixture will be too lean. To start a
warm engine, however, the throttle
control lever may have to be com-
pressed slightly.
 NOTE: On EFI models when a
cold engine is being started, DO
NOT COMPRESS THE THROTTLE
CONTROL LEVER. If the throttle
control lever is compressed, the
engine will not start because the
fuel/air mixture will be too lean.
 NOTE: On 2-stroke EFI models
when a warm engine is being
started, the throttle control lever
may have to
slightly.
7. On manual start models, pull the
recoil handle slowly until resis-
tance is felt; then give a short
quick pull. Repeat until the engine
starts.

be compressed
 NOTE: On large-displacement
engines in extremely cold weather,
pull the recoil handle slowly two to
three times to begin the starting
procedure.
! CAUTION
To avoid damaging the recoil
starter, DO NOT pull the recoil rope
to its limit or release the recoil han-
dle from an extended position.
Allow the rope to rewind slowly.
 NOTE: On electric start models,
rotate the key to the START posi-
tion; then when the engine starts,
release the key.
! CAUTION
Do not continuously run the starter
for more than 5 seconds at a time.
8. On carbureted models when the
engine starts, allow it to warm up
for approximately 30 seconds with
the choke lever in the full-choke
position. After the 30-second
warm-up, move the choke lever to
the middle position. The choke
lever should be moved to the OFF
position when engine is warm.
Slight throttle control lever com-
pression may be necessary after
the engine starts and during warm-
up. Idle the engine several minutes
until the engine has reached nor-
mal operating temperature.
9. On EFI models when the engine
starts, allow it to warm up prop-
erly. Idle the engine several min-
utes until the engine has reached
normal operating temperature. Do
not idle the engine for excessively
long periods of time.
