This troubleshooting guide is provided to help you to find the cause of some
common complaints.
COMPLAINT: Engine is hard to start or does not start at all. Something is
probably wrong with the fuel system or ignition system.
Fuel Supply Check
1. Make sure there is adequate fuel in the fuel tank.
2. Check that the engine stop switch is in the “RUN “ position.
3. Check that the fuel valve is in the “ON” position.
4. Make sure there is enough fuel reaching the carburetor from the fuel tank.
a. Loosen the drain screw which is located under the carburetor. Drain the fuel
from the carburetor into a container.
b. Tighten the drain screw.
c. Run the engine for a few seconds. Shut off engine.
d. Loosen the drain screw and check that the carburetor is filled back up with
fuel.
e. If fuel is reaching the carburetor, the ignition system should be checked next.
WARNING
Draining fuel from the carburetor could be hazardous.
Fuel could catch fire if you do not handle it properly.
When draining the carburetor, be sure to shut the engine off. Do not smoke,
and never drain or refuel in an area where there are open flames or sparks.
Do not spill the fuel or you may create a fire hazard. Dispose of drained fuel
properly.
