7) Pull out the choke knob completely.
NOTE:
●It is not necessary to use the choke when restarting a warm engine.
●If the choke knob is left pulled out, the engine will stall.
8)Push the starter button to start the motor.
9)Immediately after the engine starts, release the starter button to return it to the original position.
10)Return the throttle control grip slowly to the fully closed position so that the engine does not stall.
CAUTION:
●Never push the starter button while the engine is running.
●Do not keep the starter motor turning for more than 5 seconds. If the starter- motor is turned continuously for more than 5 seconds, the battery will be quickly discharged, thus making it impossible to start the engine. If the engine will not start after 5 seconds of cranking, release your hand from the starter button, and crank the engine again after an interval of 10 seconds.
NOTE:
●When starting a cold engine, the engine needs to be warmed up. Refer to “WARM- ING UP ENGINE” for details.
●If the engine doesn’t start on the first try, repeat the procedure. If the engine fails to start after 4 or 5 tries, open the throttle a small amount (between 1/8 and 1/4) and try again. If the engine still fails to start, refer to “TROUBLESHOOTING” in Chapter 5.
