8. If engine fails to start, repeat steps 1 through 6. NOTE: If engine fails to start after repeated attempts, refer to Troubleshooting section.
NOTE: Always pull starter rope straight out. Pulling starter at an angle will cause rope to rub against the eye- let. This friction will cause the rope to fray and wear more quickly. Always hold starter handle when rope retracts. Never allow rope to snap back from extended position. This could cause rope to snag or fray and also damage the starter assembly.
