Note: If the choke lever is set to the Closed position to start
the engine, gradually move it back toward the Open position
as the engine warms up. If the engine stalls or hesitates, move
the choke lever back toward the Closed position until the
engine runs smooth. Allow the engine to warm up, then
move the choke lever to the Open position; refer to Choke
Lever (page 13).
Stopping the Engine

(Figure 37).

rotate the engine On/Off switch to the Off position;
refer to Engine On/Off Switch (page 13).
Important: If you need to stop the engine immediately,
use the engine switch located on the outside of the
engine cowl (Figure 36).
