PRELIMINARY ENGINE CHECKS
A complete diagnosis of engine malfunctions
appears in this section.
However, the majority of engine problems
is
normally due to ignition or fuel system diffi-
culties.
1. If engine will not start with gasoline in the
tank, remove spark plug and check spark by
cranking engine while having the plug touched
against engine block.
WARNING: To avoid fire, do not hold spark
plug in close positions to
the plug hole. Keep the
plug
as far away as possible from the plug hole.
To avoid an electric shock, do not hold the plug
itself. Make sure to hold the plug
cap.

If there is good spark between electrodes,
the ignition system
is in good condition.
If there
is no or a very weak spark, clean the
plug and regap to
0.6 to 0.7mm (0.024 to
0.028 in.). Replace the plug if
it's electrodes
are of worn.
If there
is still no spark refer to "IGNITION"
section.
If engine
still fails to start, check the fuel
system for the tank to carburetor to be sure
gas is getting to carburetor.
Check carb. adjustments and be sure choke
and throttle controls are working properly.
Refer to Section 4 for carb. information.
Check for
a plugged air cleaner. Clean or re-
place if necessary.
If engine
still will not start, or starts but
does not run properly, perform the compres-
sion
test that follows, and refer to "Diagnose
Malfunction" in this Section.
