POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
• Check that there is fuel in the fuel tank and that
the fuel cap is open (ON).
• To check if the fuel is reaching the carburetor,
remove the carburetor drain plug and check if the
fuel is draining.
• Allow the engine to cool down before restarting.
If possible, improve engine cooling, as well as
operating at lower temperatures or in the shade,
etc.
• Pull and hold the trigger until the water pressure
is released before starting the engine.
• Remove the spark plug, then reconnect the spark
plug wire. Place the fuel cap in the OFF position
and the engine switch in the ON position. Touch
the spark plug electrode to a point on the
engine housing away from the spark plug hole
and try to start the engine, a spark should be
visible through the electrodes when the engine
is turned. If it does not spark, replace the spark
plug.
• Set the choke to the "HOT" or "RUN" position.
Leave the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Pull
the starter rope several times to help clear excess
fuel from the engine before attempting to start
the engine.
• Check the oil level and make sure the level is at
or just below the recommended maximum level.
