CODED SIGNAL POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTON: Engine turns over but fails to start
POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Ignition switch, engine cut-out switch
or tether cord is OFF position.
Mixture not rich enough to start cold
engine.
Flooded engine (spark plug wet
when removed).
No fuel to the engine (spark plug dry
when removed).
Spark plug/ignition (no spark).
Engine compression.
Place all the switches to ON position.
Check fuel tank and check starting procedure, par-
ticularly use of the choke or primer.
Do not choke. Remove wet spark plug, turn igniti-
on switch to OFF and crank engine several times.
Install clean, dry spark plug. Start engine following
usual starting procedure. If engine continues to
flood, see an authorized Lynx dealer.
Check fuel tank level; turn fuel valve on if applicab-
le; check fuel filter; replace if clogged; check con-
dition of fuel and impulse lines and their connec-
tions. A failure of the fuel pump or carburetor has
occured; contact an authorized Lynx dealer.
Remove spark plug (s) then reconnect to spark cap.
Check that engine cut-out switch is at the ON posi-
tion and the tether cut-out cord cap is snapped over
the receptacle. Start engine with spark plug (s)
grounded to engine away from spark plug hole. If
trouble persists, contact an authorized Lynx dea-
ler.
As the engine is pulled over with the rewind star-
ter, ”cycles” of resistance should be felt as piston
goes past top dead center (each piston on multi-
cylinder engines). If no pulsating resistance is felt,
it suggests a major loss of compression. Contact
an authorized Lynx dealer.
