NOTE: If engine fails to start after repeated att-
empts, refer to Troubleshooting section.
NOTE: Always pull starter rope straight out.
Pulling starter at an angle will cause rope to rub
against the eyelet. This friction will cause the rope
to fray and wear more quickly. Always hold starter
handle when rope retracts. Never allow rope to
snap back from extended position. This could
cause rope to snag or fray and also damage the
starter assembly.
6.2 STARTING A WARM ENGINE (Engine has
been stopped for no more than 15-20 mi-
nutes)
1. Pull starter rope again. Engine should start
with ONE or TWO pulls. If engine fails to start
after 6 pulls, repeat steps 2 through 6 (see
Starting a cold engine).
2. If engine does not start, or starts and then
stops after 5 rope pulls, follow procedure "ST-
ARTING A COLD ENGINE".
