General Troubleshooting

CAUTION!

 

- Always switch off the engine and pull the ignition cable before starting any inspection or 

adjustment work.
- If, after making an adjustment or repair to the engine, you let it run for a few minutes,
remember that the exhaust and other parts will get hot. Thus, do not touch parts that emanate 

heat, as these may burn you.
