• Check the ignition coil (

P. 8-5

• Check the engine stop switch.

Check the valve clearance (

P. 3-12

and then perform the cylinder

compression test. If the cylinder

compression is still too low, perform a

leak down test.
If the air leak down test shows air

leakage, check the following as

determined by the test:
- Valve seat width (

P. 9-20

)

- Valve face irregularly worn (

P. 9-10

)

- Piston ring side clearance (

P. 9-16

)

- Piston ring width (

P. 9-15

)

- Piston ring end gap (

P. 9-16

)

- Piston skirt O.D. (

P. 9-15

- Cylinder sleeve I.D. (

P. 9-15

)

Install the spark plug and restart the

engine.

P. 3-8

Good spark

No or weak spark

NORMAL COMPRESSION

Compression is

high >80 psi

Install a compression gauge in the spark

plug hole (

P. 2-16

) and crank the engine

several times.

Install the spark plug in the plug cap and

perform the spark test (

Remove (

perform poorly.

Fresh fuel

Drain the fuel system, and refill with

fresh gasoline.

Stale fuel

Check the valve clearance

(

P. 3-12

), and then perform the cylinder

compression test.
If compression is still high (>80 psi),

inspect the starting decompression

system

(P. 2-16)
