Troubleshooting Table

BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE OR INSPECTION, STOP THE ENGINE, WAIT FIVE

(5)MINUTES TO ALLOW ALL MOVING PARTS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND COOL. DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE, KEEPING IT AWAY FROM THE SPARK PLUG.

SYMPTOM

Recoil will not pull out or is difficult to pull.

The engine will not start.

(Please refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for engine- specific procedures.)

POSSIBLE CAUSE

⇒Check for material build up clogged in the Hopper.

⇒Check the engine oil level, the engine may be seized.

⇒There may be an oil compression lock in the cylinder. Take out the spark plug; hold a rag over the spark plug hole and pull the recoil cord several times to blow out any oil in the cylinder. Wipe off the spark plug and reinstall it.

⇒The recoil may be broken or jammed. Try to turn the engine pulley by hand, with the spark plug wire off. If it turns, the recoil is broken or jammed. Call 1(800) DR- OWNER (376-9637)for assistance.

⇒Is the spark plug wire attached?

⇒Is the Fuel Shut-Off valve in the ON position?

⇒Check the oil and gas level. See page 14.

⇒Are you using fresh, clean gas? If the gas is old, change it. Use a fuel stabilizer if you keep gas longer than one month.

⇒Check the Fuel Filter to see if it is clear. Place a can under the Fuel Filter and remove the fuel line from the engine side of the Filter. If gas flows freely, it is OK.

⇒Check the Throttle adjustment and travel.

⇒Is the spark plug clean? If the spark plug is dirty or cracked, change it. If it’s oily, leave it out, hold a rag over the spark plug hole and pull the recoil cord several times to blow out any oil in the cylinder, then wipe off the spark plug and reinsert it.

⇒If your engine still will not start, call 1(800) DR-OWNER(376-9637)for assistance.
