Troubleshooting
If the engine cannot be started, check the following items to identify the cause.
1、 Is there fuel in fuel tank?
2、 Does fuel flow from the fuel valve to carburetor. Is the fuel cock on?
3、 Disconnect the fuel pipe from carburetor and turn the fuel cock to open
position. Check if there is fuel flowing out of the pipe.
4、 If it is confirmed that fuel can reach the carburetor, the next step is to
check the ignition system.
Smoking is strictly prohibited during fuel system checking. Carry out the work in
a well ventilated place.
Remove spark plug and connect it with the high voltage cable.
Turn the ignition switch to ON position and the engine shutdown switch to " "
position.
Place the spark plug near the engine, and operate the starter motor. If the
ignition system is in working order, there will be blue sparks jumping over the
spark plug gap; If there is no spark, contact your distributor for repair.
Never allow fuel to flow everywhere. Collect it in a can. Keep fuel away from
hot engine and exhaust pipe. During the operation, keep away from any
flame or heat source.
