NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the start
switch, then push the start switch again. Pause
a few seconds before the next attempt. Each
cranking should be as short as possible to pre-
serve battery energy. Do not crank the engine
more than 10 seconds on each attempt.

starter (choke) in position 2, keep the
starter (choke) in this position to warm up
the engine.

the engine is warm, check if it responds to the
throttle normally with the starter (choke) turned
off.
