How to fix a DAYE DG600 Engine that does not start?

  Wanda MorrowAug 2, 2025
  If your DAYE Engine doesn't start, there are several possible causes. First, ensure the throttle choke is correctly positioned. Next, check if the fuel tank is empty and fill it if necessary, referring to the ENGINE OWNERS MANUAL for guidance. Also, inspect the air cleaner element for dirt and clean it as per the ENGINE OWNERS MANUAL. Other potential issues include a loose spark plug (tighten to 25-30Nm), a disconnected spark plug wire (reinstall it), an incorrect spark plug gap (set it to 0.7 to 0.8mm), or a defective spark plug (replace it, consulting the ENGINE OWNERS MANUAL). If the carburetor is flooded, remove the air cleaner element and pull the starter rope until it clears. Finally, a faulty ignition module may be the problem, in which case you should contact the service agent.

  If your DAYE Engine is difficult to start or loses power, start by draining the fuel tank and cleaning it to remove any dirt, water, or stale fuel. Then, fill it with clean, fresh fuel. Also, check the vent hole in the fuel tank cap and clean or replace the cap if the vent hole is plugged. Finally, check the air cleaner element and clean it if it's dirty.

  If your DAYE Engine overheats, it may be due to restricted cooling airflow. Remove any debris from the slots in the shroud, blower housing, and air passages to ensure proper ventilation. Also, the issue may be caused by an incorrect spark plug. Refer to the engine manual for the correct spark plug type.

  If your DAYE Engine operates erratically, the spark plug may be defective. In this case, you should install a new, correctly gapped plug, referring to the ENGINE OWNERS MANUAL for guidance. Also, the issue may be caused by an incorrect spark plug gap. Set the gap between electrodes at 0.7 to 0.8mm. Another possible cause is a dirty air cleaner element. Clean the air cleaner element, consulting the ENGINE OWNERS MANUAL.

  If the mower vibrates abnormally, check if the cutting assembly is loose and tighten the blade. If that's not the case, the cutting assembly may be unbalanced, so balance the blade.

  Larry LeAug 27, 2025
  If your DAYE Engine skips at high speed, it's possible that the gap between the electrodes of the spark plug is too close. Set the gap between the electrodes to 0.7 to 0.8mm.

  If your DAYE Engine idles poorly, the air cleaner element might be dirty; clean it according to the ENGINE OWNERS MANUAL. Also, check the air slots in the engine shroud and remove any debris blocking them. Lastly, inspect the cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing and clear away any obstructions.
