3. Move the throttle lever away from the SLOW position, about 1/3

4. Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
5. Operate the starter.
Turn the engine switch to the START position, and hold it there
until the engine starts.
If the engine fails to start within 5 seconds, release the engine
switch, and wait at least 10 seconds before operating the
starter again.
Using the electric starter for more than 5 seconds at a time will
overheat the starter motor and can damage it.
When the engine starts, release the engine switch, allowing it
to return to the ON position.
6. Warm up the engine for 2 or 3 minutes.
7. If the choke lever was moved to the CLOSED position to start
the engine, gradually move it to the OPEN position as the
engine warms up.

shut off the flow of fuel to the carburetor main jet, and the engine
will stop.
