your Clarke dealer for advice.
STORAGE
If you do not expect to use the machine for some time then the following tasks
should be undertaken before storing.
1. Empty the fuel tank completely, then start the engine and allow to run until
it stops for lack of fuel. Ensure the fuel cap is replaced and is secure.
2. Remove the spark plug (see page 8) and pour into the cylinder chamber
several drops of 2-stroke oil.
3. Crank the engine slowly using the starter pull rope in order to distribute oil
around the cylinder and piston, then replace the spark plug.
4. Carefully clean all parts, ensuring a film of oil covers bare metal parts. Use a
brush to clean the cooling fins. Oil the throttle linkage at the carburetor.
5. Store in a dry environment.
FAULT FINDING
In the event that you find difficulty in starting, or there is lack of power, it is likely
that the problem lies with either fuel or ignition. The following checks will help
to diagnose the problem.
1. Check to ensure the fuel tank has sufficient fuel mixed at the correct ratio
shown on page 8.
2. Check to ensure there is no water contamination of the fuel. If necessary,
drain the fuel tank and refill with new fuel.
3. Check the fuel line from tank to carburettor...it may be clogged.
4. Check the fuel cap. Remove the cap then replace loosely. If the engine
starts, it likely that the fuel cap breather is clogged. Replace if necessary.
5. The air filter may be clogged.
