Why won't my jcb JCB-PW15040P engine start?

D

If your JCB Pressure Washer engine won't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the fuel valve is in the ON position. Next, make sure the choke lever is CLOSED, unless the engine is already warm. Check that the ignition switch is turned ON. Also, verify that you have sufficient fuel. If the fuel is old or contaminated, drain the fuel tank and carburettor, then refuel with fresh gasoline. Inspect the spark plug to ensure it is properly gapped and not faulty; gap or replace it if necessary. If the spark plug is wet with fuel, dry it, reinstall it, and start the engine with the throttle lever in the FAST position. If none of these steps work, it may be necessary to replace or repair faulty components.
