Hey Joe, thank you for using Answer Army. Without seeing your new unit, I would have to recommend you to refer to your Owner's Manual. There are several start up suggestions along with troubleshooting guides. If that does not work then you may want to contact your local servicing dealer to help resolve any issue. Thanks again for using Answer Army.
Hey Joe,
Here are some starting points for you...
STARTING A COLD ENGINE (or a warm engine after running out of fuel)
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
Flooded engines can be started by placing the choke lever in the RUN position; then, pull the rope to clear the engine of excess fuel. This could require pulling the starter handle many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded.
Hey Joe,
Here are some starting points for you...
STARTING A COLD ENGINE (or a warm engine after running out of fuel)
NOTE: If the engine doesn’t start after 6 pulls (at the HALF CHOKE position), move the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position and press the primer bulb 6 times. Squeeze and hold the throttle trigger and pull the starter rope 2 more times. Move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position and pull the starter rope until the engine runs, but no more than 6 pulls. If the engine still doesn't start, it is probably flooded. Proceed to STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
NOTE: If engine has not started, pull starter rope 5 more pulls. If engine still does not run, it is probably flooded.
