Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the engine starts, return choke control to run position and apply full throttle. The throttle will automatically disengage from the start setting.
Note! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine.
