TROUBLESHOOTING
1 LONG BEEP PER SECOND.
1. Reverse is selected.
–
Vehicle can be driven in reverse.
BATTERY PILOT LAMP LIGHTS UP.
1. No charging.
–
Check battery and charging system.
ENGINE IS CRANKED BUT FAILS TO START.
1. Ignition switch or engine cut-out switch in OFF position or tether cord
cap away from post.
–
Place engine cut-out switch in the ON position and install tether cord cap
on post.
2. Mixture not rich enough to start cold engine.
–
Check fuel tank level and check starting procedure, particularly use of the
choke.
3. Flooded engine (spark plug wet when removed).
–
Do not choke. Remove wet spark plug, turn ignition 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 SKI-DOO dealer.
4. No fuel to the engine (spark plug dry when removed).
–
Check fuel tank level; turn fuel valve on if applicable; check fuel filter; re-
place if clogged; check condition of fuel and impulse lines and their connec-
tions. A failure of the fuel pump or carburetor has occurred. Contact an
authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
5. Spark plug/ignition (no spark).
–
Remove spark plug(s) then reconnect to spark cap. Check that engine cut-
out switch is at the ON position 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 no spark appears, replace spark plug. If trouble persists, contact
an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
6. Engine compression.
–
As the engine is pulled over with the rewind starter, “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 SKI-DOO dealer.
ENGINE LACKS ACCELERATION OR POWER.
1. Fouled or defective spark plug.
–
Check item 5 of ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT FAILS TO START.
