  If the Stihl Water Pump isn't pumping water, start by checking the strainer and hoses for any blockages and clean them if necessary. Ensure that there's enough water available for the pump to draw from. If the pump is empty, connect it to a water source and fill it with water. Also, verify that you haven't exceeded the maximum delivery or suction head. Finally, make sure the suction hose is dimensionally stable and has a suitable pressure rating to prevent it from collapsing.

How to fix a Stihl WP 230 Water Pump that won't start?

  If your Stihl Water Pump engine won't start, the first thing to check is the fuel level. Add fuel if the tank is low. If the carburetor is too hot, allow the water pump to cool down, and then depress the manual fuel pump bulb at least ten times before attempting to start the engine. If the carburetor is iced up, allow the water pump to warm up to +10°C. If the engine is flooded, clear the combustion chamber.
