HOW TO OPERATE
j
Starting the Engine
Throttle-linked choke system
This vehicle is equipped with the choke that con-
trols the throttle operation without pressing the throt-
tle pedal when starting the engine.
Mechanism of the System
°
By pulling the choke knob out, the choke valve in
the carburetor starts to close.
°
By further pulling the knob over the stepping re-
sponse, throttle valve linked to the choke starts
to open slightly.
( You can feel this move by in-
creased resistance of the choke knob.)
A. Full Choke Stroke
B. Ordinary Choke Stroke
C. Throttle-linked Choke Stroke
Using this choke system, start the engine with the
following procedure.
DANGER
Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a
colorless, odorless poisonous gas.
Inhaling carbon monoxide can cause serious
brain injury or death.
DO NOT run the engine in enclosed areas.
Operate only in a well-ventilated area.

•
Put the ignition key in the switch.
NOTE
°
When engine is cold and air temperature is be-
