STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE:
Flooded engines can be started by
placing the switch in the ON position
and the choke lever in the "Off Choke"
position; then, pull the rope to clear the
engine of excess fuel. This could re-
quire pulling the starter rope many
times depending on how badly the unit
is flooded.
If unit still doesn't start, call the 1-800
number listed on the front of this
manual.
