TROUBLESHOOTING
2 SHORT BEEPS (WHEN ENGINE IS STARTED) THEN ENGINE
STOPS.
1. Engine stops automatically after four minutes of idling (with-
out depressing the throttle handle) and engine temperature
higher than 85°C (185°F).
–
Depressing throttle lever within four minutes will reset timer
to four minutes.
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 teth-
er cord cap on post.
2. Mixture not rich enough to start cold engine.
–
Check fuel tank level and check starting procedure, particular-
ly 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 con-
tinues 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; replace if clogged; check condition of fuel and im-
pulse lines and their connections. 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 cen-
ter (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.
