Cold Engine Starting
a
Turn the fuel valve ON.
b
Shift the transmission into neutral.
c
If the temperature is 95°F (35°C) or below,
pull the choke knob fully out.
d
If the temperature is below 32°F (0°C), open
the throttle two or three times.
u The engine requires a richer mixture for
starting in cold weather. When the
throttle is so opened, the accelerator
pump will feed extra fuel to the cylinder,
thereby facilitating starting in cold
weather.
e
With the throttle closed, operate the
kickstarter starting from the top of the
kickstarter stroke, and kick through to the
bottom of the stroke with a rapid,
continuous motion.
u Do not open the throttle, As the
carburetor is equipped with an
accelerator pump, excessive fuel will be
charged into the engine, and the spark
plug will be fouled if the throttle is
opened and closed repeatedly. Excessive
fuel in the engine makes kickstarting
difficult.
f
About a minute after the engine starts, push
the choke knob all the way to fully OFF. If
idling is unstable, open the throttle slightly.
