starting, warm up the engine by operat-
ing at one fifth throttle or less. After the
engine has warmed up, completely push
in the choke knob. (Failure to do so will
shorten engine life.)

CHECKING POINTS AFTER
STARTING ENGINE
G
Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling-water pilot hole.
G
After the engine has warmed up, check
that the engine idling speed is stable.
CAUTION:

If water is not flowing out of the pilot hole
at all times while the engine is running,
do not continue to run the engine. Over-

Stop the engine and check if the water
inlet on the lower casing is blocked. If the
