immediately reduce idle speed to normal.
Flooded
Engine – Advance the neutral fast idle speed feature to the maximum
fast idle speed position (b) and continue to crank the engine for starting.
Immediately reduce engine speed after engine starts.

engine, slowly advance the neutral fast idle speed feature to increase idle speed
until engine is warmed up.

STARTING THE ENGINE – REMOTE CONTROL MODELS
7 Turn ignition key to the START position. If engine fails to start in ten seconds,
return key to ON position, wait 30 seconds and try again.
8 After engine starts, check for a steady stream of water flowing out of the water
pump indicator hole.
IMPORTANT: If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole,
stop engine and check cooling water intake for obstruction. No obstruction
may indicate a water pump failure or blockage in the cooling system. These
conditions will cause the engine to overheat. Have the outboard checked by
your dealer. Operating the engine while overheated will cause engine
damage.
Warming Up Engine
Before beginning operation, allow the engine to warm up at idling speed for 3
minutes.

STARTING THE ENGINE – TILLER HANDLE MODELS
Before starting, read the Pre-Starting Check List, Special Operating Instructions,
and Engine Break-in Procedure on the first three pages in the Operation Section.
CAUTION
Never start or run your outboard (even momentarily) without water circu-
lating through all the cooling water intake holes in the gear case to pre-
vent damage to the water pump (running dry) or overheating of the en-
gine.
1 Open fuel tank vent screw (in filler cap) on manual venting type fuel tanks.
2 Squeeze the fuel line primer bulb several times until it feels firm.
IMPORTANT: To prevent engine flooding, do not squeeze the primer bulb
after engine has warmed up.

safety explanation and Warning in the General Information Section.
