If the choke knob is left in the “”

til you feel resistance. Then give a
strong pull straight out to crank and start
the engine. Repeat if necessary.
6. After the engine starts, slowly return the
manual starter handle to its original po-

NOTE:
● When the engine is cold, it needs to be
warmed up. For further information, see

start after 4 or 5 tries, open the throttle a
small amount and try again. Also if the en-
gine is warm and fails to start, open the
throttle a small amount and try to start the
engine again. If the engine still fails to
start, see page 57.
