Starting a warm engine
To start a warm engine, refer to the “Starting a
cold engine” section. The choke lever should not
be used. The throttle should be opened slightly.
EBU00184
Warming up
To get maximum engine life, always warm up
the engine before starting off. Never accelerate
hard with a cold engine! To see whether or not
the engine is warm, check if it responds to the
throttle normally with the choke lever turned off.
