Figure 7. Engine Fuel Valve Lever (ON Position)

2.Move the throttle lever (See Figure 8) away from the slow position, about 1/3 of the way toward the fast position.

Figure 8. Throttle Lever (1/3 Start Position

3.Place the choke lever (See Figure 9) in the CLOSED position if starting a cold engine.

Figure 9. Engine Choke Lever (Closed)

4.Place the choke lever (See Figure 10) in the OPEN position if starting a warm engine or the temperature is warm.

Figure 10. Engine Choke Lever (Open)

5.Place the engine ON/OFF switch (See Figure 11) in the ON position.

Figure 11. Engine ON/OFF Switch (ON Position)

6.Grasp the starter grip (See Figure 12) and slowly pull it out.The resistance becomes the hardest at a certain position, corresponding to the compression point. Pull the starter grip briskly and smoothly for starting.

Figure 12. Starter Grip

7.If the engine has started and the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start the engine, gradually move the choke lever to the OPEN position (Figure 13) as the engine warms up. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 6.
