cable of the spark plug
-
correct spark plug gap
-
all the connections of the electric plant
-

FLOODED ENGINE
Dismantle the spark plug and dry it well ; before re-assembling it, let the propeller
turn slowly 2/3 times.
THE ENGINE DOES NOT HOLD IDLE SPEED OR HAS AN IRREGULAR
SPEED
Clean and adjust the carburettor. Check the reed valve petals are closing
completely. Hold the reed up to a light and you should not see any light past the
petal seating area.
THE ENGINE CANNOT REACH MAXIMUM SPEED
Check cable pulling throttle fully open.
Check that there is no dirt in the carburettor or tank-filter nor restrictions in the
fuel pipe, due to too tight curves, or air bubbles.
Check the spark plug; is it’s worn, change it with one of the same brand and same
heat range.
In case the head is dismantled to be decarboned, change both the head gasket and
the cylinder gasket.
