Many factors can contribute to or be the sole
cause of problems for gas and electric power
blowers. This section will identify some of these
problems and provide solutions to correct
them.
Blower fails to start
•
CHECK FOR FUEL IN THE TANK; MAKE
SURE THE FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE IS
OPEN.
•
CHECK THE FUEL LINE TO DETERMINE IF
THE CARBURETOR IS GETTING FUEL.
•
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL, HONDA ENGINES
ARE EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC OIL
ALERT SYSTEMS. THE ENGINE WILL NOT
START IF OIL IS LOW.
•
CHECK THE SPARK PLUG FOR A SPARK:
1.
Remove the spark plug wire, clean any dirt from
around the spark plug base and remove the plug.
2.
Install the spark plug into the plug cap.
3.
Ground the plug to the engine and pull the starter
to see if a spark jumps the gap.
DO NOT HOLD
THE SPARK PLUG IN YOUR HANDS
; hold
the spark plug cap or wire.
4.
If a spark is present, replace the spark plug and
wire then try starting the engine.
5.
If the blower still does not start contact the factory
or your local engine dealer.
