Do not rev up the engine when it is cold. Allow some time for oil to reach all points that need lubricating. Set the cold-start lever in the vertical position (A) to reach the engine speed of approx. 1,400÷1,500 rpm. Subsequently, as the engine warms up, move the cold-start lever gradually towards its vertical position (A,Fig. 64). Once the engine is at normal running speed it should idle smoothly with the cold-start lever completely closed. Important High ambient temperature (over 95 °F/35 °C) Follow the same procedure described for "Normal ambient temperature" without using the cold-start control. Cold ambient temperature (less than 50 °F/ 10 °C) Follow the procedure described for "Normal ambient temperature" extending the time for engine warming up (point 5) to 5 minutes. 110

Important
Do not rev up the engine when it is cold. Allow
some time for oil to reach all points that need
lubricating.
Set the cold-start lever in the vertical position (A) to
reach the engine speed of approx. 1,400÷1,500
rpm.
Subsequently, as the engine warms up, move the
cold-start lever gradually towards its vertical position
(A,Fig. 64). Once the engine is at normal running
speed it should idle smoothly with the cold-start lever
completely closed.
High ambient temperature (over 95 °F/35 °C)
Follow the same procedure described for "Normal
ambient temperature" without using the cold-start
control.
Cold ambient temperature (less than 50 °F/
10 °C)
Follow the procedure described for "Normal ambient
temperature" extending the time for engine warming
up (point 5) to 5 minutes.
