Note: If the choke lever is set to the Closed position to start
the engine, gradually move the choke lever back toward the
Open position as the engine warms up. If the engine stalls

position until the engine runs smooth. Allow the engine to
warm up, then move the choke lever to the Open position;

(Figure 34); refer to Choke Lever (page 12).
2. Move the throttle lever to the Min position (Figure 34);
refer to Throttle Lever (page 12).
