    With the shift lever in neutral, twisting the throttle grip until it stops will automatically set the ignition timing for starting.  Pulling the choke  all the way out will automatically set the throttle opening for starting. All that’s left to do is pull hard on the rope and away you go!

    NOTE: This procedure will not work if the shift lever is in forward or reverse gear. It’s gotta be in neutral.
