How to troubleshoot a Ruggerini Engine that does not start?
- A
  allenmasseyAug 14, 2025
  If your Ruggerini Engine does not start, begin by inspecting the fuel circuit for any obstructions in the pipes or a clogged fuel filter. Also, check for the presence of air within the fuel circuit and ensure the tank breather hole is free from clogs. Further investigation should include inspecting the fuel pump, injector, and injection pump delivery valve for any faults or blockages. Additionally, verify the injector setting, check for excessive plunger blow-by, inspect the injection pump delivery control, and assess the injection pump setting for any potential issues.

  If your Ruggerini Engine starts and then stops, make sure that the oil level is not excessively high. Check if the pressure relief valve is jammed. Inspect the oil pump for any signs of wear. Also, check for air inside the oil suction pipe and inspect the pressure gauge or switch for faults. Finally, check the oil suction pipe for clogs.
