TROUBLE SHOOTING
Whatever model you choose, the engine will only function if:
-good spark is produced
-and you have proper air/fuel mix.
Often, the majority of problems arise when one of the above conditions is lacking. Get
organized and follow a strict procedure in order to identify the problem. Finding the
problem must be a logical process. Below is a brief trouble-shooting guide.
1.
THE ENGINE WON’T START!
Probable cause:
Remedy:
Ignition failure.
Turn the switch to ON.
The fuel flow valve is closed or the filter
is blocked.
Open the valve, clean or replace the filter
and check the fuel lines for any leaks.
The fuel tank is empty.
Re-fuel.
You have not followed the start up
procedure correctly.
Repeat the process, following the
instructions carefully.
The spark plug is flooded as a result of
supplying too much fuel when starting
up the engine.
Remove and clean the spark plugs, run the
engine using the electric starter with the
throttle wide open for 5 seconds then replace
the spark plugs.
The spark plug is damp on account of
excessive condensation.
Dry the spark plug carefully.
The spark plug electrodes are further
apart than the recommended distance.
Adjust electrodes so that the distance is
0.7mm as indicated in the technical
specifications.
The electrodes are worn away.
Replace the spark plugs.
The spark plug is dirty (oil and lead
deposits on the insulator).
Clean the spark plug carefully using a metal
brush or replace, as necessary.
The high tension lead is badly
connected, loose or damaged.
Connect the cable or check it is in good
condition, as appropriate.
The engine turns too slowly when
starting-up on account of the electric
starter motor battery is low or defective.
Re-charge or replace the starting battery.
The float valve is dirty or blocked.
Clean or replace the float valve.
Fuel spray nozzles are blocked.
Clean the spray nozzles.
There is water in the carburetor
(carburetor with float) or at the bottom
of the fuel tank.
Change the oil and clean the carburetor, the
carburetor piping, filter and fuel tank.
Insufficient compression or damaged
engine.
