Nwith the right hand, pull the starter grip slowly until you feel it engage – and then give it a brisk strong pull – simultaneously press down on the handlebar – do not pull the starter rope out all the way – risk of breakage! Do not let the starter grip snap back – guide it slowly back into the housing so that it can rewind properly

With a new engine or after a long period of disuse, with machines without an additional manual fuel pump, it may be necessary to pull the starter rope several times - to prime the fuel line.
