Breaking-in the Engine
39
The engine reaches the maximum power after 5-8 hours of
activity.
Difficult Starting (or starting a flooded engine)
The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has not started
after 10 pulls. Flooded engines can be cleared of excess fuel
by following the warm engine starting procedure listed above.
Ensure the ON/STOP switch is in the ON position. Starting could
require pulling the starter rope handle many times depending on
how badly the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE (page 21).

Engine is Flooded
If you did not move the choke lever to warm start quickly enough
after the engine began to fire, the combustion chamber is
flooded.
• Set the on/off swich to STOP.
• Engage a suitable tool in the spark plug boot (Fig. 40).
• Pry off the spark plug boot.
• Unscrew and dry off the spark plug.
• Open the throttle wide.
• Pull the starter rope several times to clear the combustion
chamber.
• Refit the spark plug and connect the spark plug boot, press it
41
down firmly – reassemble the other parts.
• Set the on/off swich to I, the starting position.
• Set the choke lever to warm start – even if engine is cold.
• Now start the engine.
Stopping The Engine
Move the throttle trigger (B, Fig.41) and the limiter (C) to the
minimum positions. Switch off the engine by moving the switch
(A) to the STOP position.
