OPERATION Starting a Warm Engine Warm engines do not normally require the use of the choke since the spark plug can easily become wet fouled. 1. Place the transmission in neutral and push the vehicle to a level surface. 2. Lock the parking brake. 3. Turn the fuel tank valve to ON. 4. Sit on the vehicle. 5. If the engine has cooled to a point where it does not readily start, intermittent use of the choke button pulled half way out is permitted. 6. If the engine is over-choked by mistake when warm, depress the throttle lever fully while cranking to aid in starting. 7. Release the throttle lever immediately after the engine starts. If the engine does not start and all conditions are favorable, change the spark plug. 53
