TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSE

No fuel.
Lubricant level is low.
Fuel valve is OFF.
Spark plug faulty, fouled, or improperly
gapped.
Choke lever is in RUN position.
Engine stored without treating or
draining gasoline, or refueled with bad
gasoline.
Fuel element clogged.
Engine stored without treating or
draining gasoline, or refueled with bad
gasoline.
Circuit breaker is OFF.
Item plugged in is defective.
An occasional light "knocking" or "ping-
ing" under heavy load is not a cause
for concern. However, if the knocking
or pinging occurs under normal load
at a steady engine speed, the problem
may be with the brand of gasoline be-
ing used.
