    One turn out is a good place to start.
    If your not getting anywhere or it was firing and then
    your not getting anything. Close the mixture screw and
    try to start it. If it does the mixture screw was open
    too far. (flooded) If it just pops a time or two and then
    does nothing you need to open the mixture screw another
    1/4 turn. It will be easier to start it out of the water
    as they don’t pump water anyway so it wont make any
    difference if the exhaust valve is open or closed. When
    you get it on a boat you’ll want to open the exhaust
    valve when starting. The purpose of the exhaust valve
    is to let air into the motor to start it. Air cant get in
    if it doesn’t have a way out.
