2004 Johnson 40 50 hp PL 2-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

The electric primer feature will not operate during
the emergency starting procedures. A cold engine
normally  requires  use  of  the  engine’s  primer  to
start. To prime the engine manually:
Squeeze the fuel primer bulb and maintain pres-
sure while you move the lever on the primer sole-
noid to MANUAL START. Return the lever to RUN
after  1  to  2 seconds  and  release  the  fuel  primer
bulb.
While seated, pull hard on the emergency start cord
to start the motor.
After starting, run the engine at less than 2000 RPM
in NEUTRAL for 2 minutes. Then reduce to an idle
speed.
DO NOT attempt to replace engine cover while en-
gine is running.
Snap lanyard to secure place on clothing and pro-
ceed to the nearest landing for service.
FUEL ECONOMY
The economy throttle range can save fuel, depend-
ing on boat load and hull design. When boat reach-
es top speed, throttle back from FULL SPEED to
the economy throttle range. You will save fuel with-
out a noticeable loss of speed.
