Put the plug as far away from the spark plug hole as possible.

Ground the side of the electrode to any engine ground.

GB

(1)Is the engine switch set OK? (See Fig.3-w)

(2)Is there a strong spark across the electrode ?

■Remove the spark plug and connect it to the plug cap. Pull the starter handle while grounding spark plug against engine body.

■Try with a new spark plug if the spark is weak or there is no spark.

■The ignition system is faulty if there is no spark with a new spark plug.

3.PUMP DOES NOT SELFPRIME.

■Suction of air at suction side. (Check piping at suction side.)

■Insufficient priming water inside pump casing (Prime fully.)

■Imperfect tightening of drain plug. (Tighten the plugs completely.)

■Engine speed is too low. (Consult your nearest dealer.)

■Sucking air from mechanical seal. (Consult your nearest dealer.)

(3) Is there enough compression?

■Pull the starter handle slowly and check if resistance is felt.

■If little force is required to pull the starter handle, check if the spark plug is tightened firmly.

■If the spark plug is loose, tighten it.

(4) Is the spark plug wet with fuel?

■Choke (close choke lever) and pull the starter handle five or six times. Remove the plug and check if its electrode is wet. If the electrode is wet, fuel is well supplied to your engine.

■When the electrode is dry, check where the fuel stops. (Check the fuel intake of the carburetor and fuel filter intake.)

■In case the engine does not start with well supplied fuel, try using fresh fuel.
