Allow the engine to start on its own, without turning the throttle. 2 E Notes If the battery is flat, the system automatically disables operation of the starter motor. 4) Move the starter lever towards the vertical position (A) to obtain an idle speed of 1400 to 1500 rpm. Important Do not rev the engine when cold. Allow some time for the oil to warm up and reach all points that need lubricating. 5) Then, as the engine warms up, move the cold start lever gradually towards vertical position (A, fig. 52). Once the engine is at normal running speed, it should idle smoothly with the cold start lever completely closed. High ambient temperature (above 35 °C/95 °F): Follow the same procedure for "Normal ambient temperature", but without using the cold start lever. Cold ambient temperature (below 10 °C/50 °F): Follow the procedure for "Normal ambient temperature", but allow up to 5 minutes for the engine to warm up (point 5). 3 fig. 51 A B fig. 52 61
