Beeper Codes
Beeper codes are used to inform you on the DESS system operation and/or as a
complement of the p ilot lamps to catch your attention if an anomaly occurs or to
inform you of a particu lar condition.
For more details on DESS system beeper codes, refer to DESS PILOT L AM P
CODES in TETHER CUT-OUT SWITCH.
For more details on gauge pilot lamps, refer to GAUGE PILOT LAM PS.
For any b eep code not listed in this Operator's Guide, refer to an authorized LYNX
dealer.
General
ENGINE IS CRANKED BUT FAILS TO START.
1. Engine cut-out switch is in OFF position or tether cord cap (DESS key)
away from post.
– Place e ng ine cu t-ou t switch in th e ON position and install tether cord cap
(DESS key) on post.
2. M ixture not rich enough to start cold engine.
– Check fuel tank level and check starting procedure, particularly use of the
choke.
3. Flooded engine (spark plug wet when removed).
– Do not choke. Remove wet spark plug, place engine cut-out switch in OFF
position and crank engine several times. Install clean dry spark plug.
– Start engine following usual starting procedure. If engine continues to
flood, see an authorized LYNX dealer.
4. No fuel to the engine (spark plug dry when removed).
– Check fuel tank level; check condition of fuel and impulse lines and their
connections. A failure of the fuel pump or carburetor has occurred. Contact
an authorized LYNX dealer.
5. Spark plug/ignition (no spark).
– Remove spark plug(s) then reconnect to spark cap. Check that engine cut-
out switch is at the ON position and the tether cord cap (DESS key) snapped
over the receptacle.
– Start engine with spark plug(s) grounded to engine away from spark plug
hole. If no spark appears, replace spark plug. If trouble persists, contact
an authorized LYNX dealer.
6. Engine compression.
– As the engine is pulled over with the rewind starter, “cycles” of resistance
should be felt as piston goes past top dead center (each piston on m ulti-
cylinder engine s).
– If no pulsating resistance is felt, it suggests a major loss of compression.
