ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Symptom: NO SPARK OR POOR SPARK
1.
Refer to
ignition system
.
Symptom: STARTER DOES NOT TURN
1.
Refer to starting system.
Symptom: STARTER TURNS BUT DOES NOT CRANK THE ENGINE
1.
Refer to starting system.
2.
Check gear condition on electric starter.
Worn and/or damaged starter gear. Replace electric starter and/or starter drive.
3.
Check condition of starter pinion gear.
Worn and/or damaged starter pinion and/or ring gear. Replace starter drive and/or drive
pulley fixed sheave.
4.
Check splines on starter drive.

1.
Refer to starting system.
Symptom: STARTER KEEPS RUNNING
1.
Refer to starting system.
COOLING SYSTEM
Symptom: HIGH ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE
1.
Check engine oil adequacyl.
Oil below recommended (refer to cooling system).
2.
Check temperature sensor for electrical/mechanical failure.
Temperature sensor defective. Replace.
3.
Check thermostat.
Thermostat defective (does not open when engine gets hot). Replace (refer to cooling
system).
5.
If the oil leaks, check whether the pipe is broken and whether the seal ring at the joint is intact. If
it is damaged, replace it with a new one.
6.
Check condition of hoses and hose clamps fixation.
Hoses are brittle and/or hard. Replace.
Hose clamps are loose. Retighten clamps.
7.
Check the condition of engine suction impeller
8.
Check the radiator for leaks.
Cracking or distortion of radiators. Replace the radiator.
MAGNETO SYSTEM
Symptom: BATTERY NOT CHARGING OR CHARGING VOLTAGE INADQUATE
1.
Check battery
Battery shows less power. Reload battery.
2.
Check magneto for damage and/or electrical failure.
Radial position of rotor wrong due to broken woodruff key. Replace woodruff key.
Coating on stator winding is damaged. Replace stator.
Resistance value is out of specification (refer to technical specifications). Replace
magneto.
Connector on magneto is damaged and/or has electrical failure. Repair and clean contacts
of connector.
3.
Check voltage regulator/rectifier.
Refer to charging system.
