1.Use the same procedure as starting a cold engine, but pull choke lever out, and then push back in to set the throttle lock. If choke is used on a warm engine, the carburetor will flood with gas.
2. If the engine does not start in 3 hard, fast pulls with the throttle locked, fully squeeze and hold the trigger while pulling the starter cord 3 more times.
NOTE: To hold the trigger fully open it may be necessary to insert right foot into rear handle opening and twist.
