Overheating

Air Fuel Mixture is Incorrect

The Air fuel mixture is set to lean, and/or the
carburetor inlet screen could be getting clogged
preventing gas from reaching the carburetor.

Vacuum Leak

If the engine has a vacuum leak this will cause the air
fuel mixture to run lean

Incorrect Fuel to Oil Ratio

The oil to fuel mixture could be higher than the 40-1
ratio, or the fuel has no 2-stroke oil mixed in, and this
would cause the engine to overheat

Pull Start Flywheel

Starter is not engaging the
engine

The starter pawls need to be inspected to ensure
they are spreading out and grabbing the hub. Inspect
the hub to ensure its not cracked or broken internally

Pull Start Not Retracting

Ensure the starter cord is on the pulley, and not
wedged between the pulley wheel and the starting
housing. Check if the recoil spring is broken in the pull
start, and would need to be replaced.

Excessive Smoke

from Exhaust

Air Fuel Mixture is Incorrect

Carburetor mixture settings could be running to rich

Incorrect Fuel to Oil Ratio

The amount of oil in the fuel could be over the 40-1
ratio causing the engine to burn an excessive amount
of oil

Worn or stuck Piston Rings

The piston rings are stuck in and not expanding to
create the proper seal in the cylinder, and this would
create excessive smoke from the exhaust

Oil Leaking from

Engine

Cylinder Head Nuts

Verify the torque settings on the cylinder head bolts
are correct

Vacuum Leak

If you see an oil leak on the cylinder or any part that
connects to the engine case, this is a sign of a vacuum
leak and needs to be fixed

Propeller Clutch

Clutch Pads are Worn

The propeller will normally engage at the proper RPM
around 2500-2600RPM, and as the pads become warn
the propeller will not engage until a higher RPM is
reached. The pads should be inspected for wear when
the propeller does not begin to engage until around
or after 3500RPM
