If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature
is low, close the choke lever fully.
If the engine is warm or the ambient
temperature is high, open the choke lever half-
way, or keep it fully open.
(5) Pull the starter handle slowly until resistance is
felt. This is the “compression” point. Return the
handle to its original position and pull swiftly.
Do not pull out the rope all the way. After
starting the engine, allow the starter handle to
return to its original position while still holding
the handle.(See Fig. 3-t)
(6) After starting the engine, gradually open choke
by turning the choke lever and finally keep it
fully opened. Do not fully open the choke lever
immediately when the engine is cold or the
ambient temperature is low, because the
engine may stop.(See Fig. 3-y)
2. RUNNING (See Fig.

the high speed position (H) and set it at the
required engine speed.

is felt. This operation is necessary to prevent
outside moist air from intruding into the
combustion chamber. (See Fig. 5-r)
