Why my hecht 746 Tiller engine does not start?
- DdavisdavidJul 29, 2025
There are several reasons why your Hecht Tiller engine might not be starting: * The fuel tank could be empty. Refill it completely, ensuring the carburetor receives fuel and the tank is properly aerated. * The air filter might be dirty. Clean it thoroughly. * There could be a weak ignition spark. Clean or replace the spark plug, check the ignition cable, or have the ignition system inspected by a service professional. * The engine may be flooded. Remove, clean, and dry the spark plug. Then, with the spark plug removed and without using the choke, pull the starting string several times. * Old fuel may be the problem. Drain the tank and refill it with fresh fuel.
