Check the Throttle Lever travel and adjustment. Is the Throttle Lever
in the Run position?

Is the Choke lever pushed all the way over to the RUN position? See
Chapter 4.
(Please refer to the
Engine Owner’s
Manual for engine-
specific procedures.)
⇒
Is the air filter clean? If it’s dirty, change it following the procedure in
the Engine Owner’s Manual.
⇒
Is the spark plug clean? If it is fouled or cracked, change it. If it is oily,
leave it out, hold a rag over the spark plug hole and engage the electric
starter for a few seconds to blow out any oil in the cylinder, then wipe
off the spark plug and reinsert it.
⇒
Are you using fresh, clean unleaded gas? If it’s old, change it. Use a
fuel stabilizer if you keep gas longer than two weeks or so.
⇒
Does your engine have the right amount of clean oil? If it’s dirty,
change it following the procedure in Chapter 5.
