What to do when the engine is „flooded”
The throttle must be fully opened when starting. If necessary change
sparkplug.
Starting off
Pull the clutch lever. Put the engine into first gear, slowly release the clutch
lever and open throttle at the same time.
Shifting/Riding
You are now in first gear, refered to as the drive or uphill gear. Depending
on the conditions (traffic, hill size, etc.), you can shift to a higher gear. Close
throttle, at the same time pull clutch lever in and shift to the next higher
gear. Let clutch lever go again and open throttle. If you turned on the
choke, make sure you turn it off again as soon as engine is warm.
When you reach full speed through opening the throttle all the way, turn
throttle back to
3
/
4; the speed will not decreases but the engine will use less
fuel.
Only give as much throttle as the engine can handle. Through quick and
high reving of throttle, the fuel consumption increases. When shifting
down, use the brakes if necessary and close throttle at the same time. Pull
clutch lever and shift down to the next gear. Let clutch lever go slowely and
open throttle or shift down again.
