■SPARK PLUG
Starting failure and mis-firing are often caused
by a fouled spark plug. Periodically clean the
spark plug and check that the spark gap is
within the correct range.
For a replacement plug, use Champion
RCJ6Y or the equivalent.
■STORAGE
Old fuel left in the carburetor may cause
starting failure. Before storing the unit, empty
the fuel tank and start the engine and run it on
until it stops by itself.
■AIR FILTER
The air filter, if clogged, will reduce the engine
performance. Every 30 days, check and clean
the filter element in warm, soapy water as
required. Dry completely before installing. If
the element is broken or shrunk, replace with
a new one.
■FUEL FILTER
When the engine runs short of fuel supply,
check the fuel filter for blockage.
