Why is there no spark in my Doosan Engine?
- L
  laurajonesAug 13, 2025
  If your Doosan Engine has no spark, it could be due to several reasons. Start by inspecting and replacing the distributor cap or spark plug leads if they are arcing. Also, replace the spark plugs if they are fouled, burned, or have cracked porcelain. Check the battery and electrical connections, and replace the spark plug wires if they are broken or have faulty insulation. If these steps don't solve the problem, replace the ignition switch or inspect and replace any other faulty ignition components. Clean or replace the distributor cap if it is cracked or dirty. Finally, disconnect the tachometer and test again to rule out a shorted tachometer.

Why is my Doosan Engine spark knocking?
- A
  Amy TaylorAug 18, 2025
  If your Doosan Engine is experiencing spark knock, it could be due to several reasons. First, try retarding the ignition timing. If that doesn't solve the problem, switch to a higher quality fuel. Also, inspect the cooling system to ensure the engine isn't running hot. Finally, clean the engine to remove any carbon deposits.

What to do if the Doosan Engine will not crank over?
- M
  Mario SnyderAug 21, 2025
  If your Doosan Engine won't crank over, there are several potential causes. Start by charging the battery and checking the wiring for damage or loose connections. If that doesn't work, check if the circuit breaker has tripped and reset it if necessary. Other possible issues include a bad ignition switch, a bad starter solenoid, or a defective starter motor, all of which would need to be replaced.

How to fix poor engine idle on a Doosan G25P-3 Engine?
- L
  Lori MccarthyAug 26, 2025
  To fix a poor engine idle on your Doosan Engine, begin by checking the air breather for clogs and clean or replace it as needed. Then, adjust the idle-fuel mixture. Inspect and replace any faulty spark-plug wires that may be arcing. Other solutions include using higher grade fuel, adjusting the ignition timing, or replacing the spark plugs. You may also need to replace the ignition coil, clean or replace the distributor cap, or clean the carburetor. Repair any leaks at the intake manifold or carburetor base. If these steps don't resolve the issue, perform a compression check. Finally, tighten or replace the distributor if it is loose or worn, and inspect and replace any damaged components such as the head gasket, exhaust manifold, cracked head, or valve seat.

Why is my Doosan G25P-3's alternator noisy?
- B
  Benjamin RoseAug 28, 2025
  A noisy alternator in your Doosan Engine can stem from several causes. Begin by tightening the mounting bolts. If the noise persists, replace the drive belt if it's worn, frayed, or loose. Additionally, tighten the drive pulley. If the issue continues, consider replacing or cleaning the bearings if they are worn or dirty. Lastly, replace the defective diode trio or stator if they are faulty.

What causes malfunctioning instruments or gauges in a Doosan G25P-3 Engine?
- A
  Alexis GuerreroSep 1, 2025
  Malfunctioning instruments or gauges in your Doosan Engine can be caused by faulty wiring, loose, or corroded terminals, so check and repair the wiring. Other potential causes include a bad key switch, a faulty gauge, or a faulty sender, all of which would need to be replaced.

What causes noise around the valve cover area on a Doosan Engine?
- C
  christinaandersonSep 5, 2025
  Noise around the valve cover area of your Doosan Engine can be due to several factors. It could be that the rocker arm is striking the valve cover, in which case you should adjust the rocker arm. Alternatively, the rocker arm might be out of adjustment, requiring you to re-adjust it. Other potential causes include a worn rocker arm, a bent push rod, or a collapsed lifter, all of which would need to be replaced.

Why is there water found on top of the pistons in my Doosan Engine?
- J
  jgonzalezSep 8, 2025
  If you find water on top of the pistons in your Doosan Engine, it could be due to a cracked exhaust manifold (if water cooled), which would need to be replaced. Another cause could be improper installation of the manifold-to-elbow gasket (if water cooled); reinstall it properly. Also, check for and tighten any loose cylinder head bolts. Other potential causes include a blown cylinder head gasket, a cracked valve seat or porous/cracked casting, all of which would need to be inspected and replaced.
