3. CHECK-UP
A general systematic check can usually locate the fault
in a matter of minutes. The following five points cover this
operation:
- Starter
- Compression
- Ignition
- Carburetion
- Equipment
a)
STARTER
Pull starter and ensure that the starter dog engages and
turns the engine. If not, see chapter C, Starter Repair
Methods, ensure that the rope has not been shortened,
thus reducing the number of starting revolutions. The
compression may also be checked by this operation.
