GAS ENGINE START PROCEDURE
1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. Use regular unleaded, 86 octane or higher that
has no more than 10% ethanol blend.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always leave a space to allow the tank to breathe
and the fuel to expand.
3. Set to full throttle. The lever will be all the way LEFT on all models except the
Honda GC which will have the lever all the way UP.
4. Turn the fuel valve to the ON position which is all the way to the RIGHT on all
models except the Vanguard and Honda GC which do not have a separate
fuel valve.
5. Activate the choke if the engine is cold. Move the choke lever to the LEFT on all
models except the Honda GC where the choke tab is pulled OUT.
