b. Starting Cold Engine. When vehicle has not been operated for some time, and engine is normally cold, follow progressive procedure for easiest starting.
(1) Set carburetor choke lever in full upward (closed) position.
(2) Open throttle wide by turning right grip inward as far as it will go.
(3) Prime cylinders by operating foot starter crank one or two strokes.
(4) Set carburetor choke lever in ¼ to ½ closed position for mild weather starting: ¾ closed (or leave fully choked) for extremely cold weather starting. CAUTION: It is only in extremely cold weather that engine may start best with choke fully closed, and even then it will have to be moved from this position immediately after engine is started.
(5) Set throttle (right) grip to slightly open position.
(6) Turn ignition switch on, first right position.
(7) Start engine with vigorous strokes of foot starter crank.
(8) When engine starts, set throttle for moderate idling speed for warming up, or until ready to set vehicle in motion. Do not race engine unnecessarily.
(9) After engine warms up, and misfires due to an overrich mixture, gradually move choke lever downward. After engine has thoroughly warmed up, move choke lever to fully open (downward) position.
