NOTE:
If engine fails to start after repeated attempts, refer to Troubleshooting section.
NOTE:
Always pull starter rope straight out. Pulling starter at an angle will cause rope to rub against the eyelet. This
friction will cause the rope to fray and wear more quickly.
NOTE:
Always hold starter handle when rope retracts. Never let a rope snap back from an extended position. This
could cause the rope to snag or fray and also damage the starter assembly.
