Open 1/2 - 1 inch Ignition Switch............................................................................................Start  The engine should start for a short period and then stop. Excess fuel has now been cleared and follow the engine start procedures cold start or warm start accordingly.  If still not successful to start the engine, wait for 15-30 minutes with the throttle in the fully open position. This will help to evaporate the excess fuel and also to give a break to the starter and battery before the next attempt.
