Starting
Warning: Never attempt to start the engine if it is detached from the frame of
the powerboard. If engine is started when detached, clutch components will
come loose and can cause serious injury or death.
Before starting, move at least 10 feet away from where you filled the tank.
1. Depress primer bulb several times to draw
fuel from the tank to the carburetor (TPB-
400GX only).
2. Set the CHOKE LEVER to the CHOKE
(UP) position (Fig. 7).
3. Pull the RECOIL STARTER briskly, making
sure to hold the handle in your grasp (Fig.
8). Note: Do not allow it to snap back, let it
back slowly. It may be necessary to repeat
this step several times until the motor
starts.
When starting the unit for the first time, it
may be necessary to pull the starter handle
multiple times until it starts because the
gas needs to be drawn into the carburetor.
4. Once the engine has started, quickly move
the CHOKE LEVER into the RUN (DOWN)
position. (Fig. 7)
5. After engine is started, let it warm up for 2-3
minutes before riding.
IF THE MOTOR KEEPS STALLING AT IDLE SPEED, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO
ADJUST THE IDLE SPEED ON THE CARBURETOR.
