If engine floods

Gi, GSi models:
A flooded engine can be cleared by advancing the
control handle to a position of 3/4 throttle. In this th-
rottle position and the engine speed below 400 RPM
(cranking speed) the ECM turns off the fuel injectors
so no fuel is delivered. When the throttle position is
moved to full throttle or less than 3/4 throttle, the
ECM returns to the starting mode.
IMPORTANT! Be prepared to quickly move the
control handle to the idle position once the engi-
ne starts. This will avoid overspeeding and pos-
sible damage to the engine.
GL, GS models:
Disengage the shift control and move the handle to
the full throttle position. Turn the key switch to the
START position. Immediately move the control hand-
le to the idle position when the engine starts.
IMPORTANT Be prepared to quickly move the
control handle to the idle position once the engi-
ne starts. This will avoid overspeeding and pos-
sible damage to the engine.
