6. OPERATION
CLEARING A FLOODED ENGINE
If the engine won’t start after you have operated the starter several times, the
engine may be flooded with excess fuel. Use the following procedure to clear
and start a flooded engine:
13/16 INCH SPARK PLUG WRENCH
1. Remove the spark plug, dry it, then
reinstall it.
NOTE: Install the spark plug
carefully, by hand, to avoid cross-
threading. After the spark plug is
seated, tighten l/8 to l/4 turn with
a spark plug wrench to compress
the washer.
2. Move the throttle lever to the HI
position.
3. Hold the flywheel brake lever
forward against the handlebar, and
operate the starter with the throttle
lever in the HI position.
