What to do if Efco TR 1551 engine doesn't start or stalls after a few seconds?
First, ensure the switch is in the 'I' position. If the engine still doesn't start or stalls, it could be due to: * No spark: Check the spark plug for a spark. If there's no spark, try again with a new RCJ-7Y spark plug. * Flooded engine: Follow the procedure on page 20. If the engine still fails to start, repeat the procedure using a new spark plug.
Why Efco TR 1551 engine does not reach full speed and emits excessive smoke?
The issue might stem from several factors: 1. Oil/fuel mixture: Ensure you're using fresh gasoline and the correct two-stroke engine oil. 2. Dirty air filter: Clean the air filter following the instructions in the air filter maintenance chapter. 3. Carburetor adjustment: Contact an Authorized Service Center to adjust the carburetor.
Why Efco TR 1551 Lawn and Garden Equipment engine starts but won't accelerate properly or runs poorly at high speed?
The carburetor likely needs adjustment. Contact an Authorized Service Center to have the carburetor adjusted.
How to fix Efco Lawn and Garden Equipment engine that starts, runs, and accelerates, but won't idle?
