S YMPTOM P OSSIBLE C AUSE
Engine won’t
start.
(Please refer to
the Engine
Manufacturer’s
Owner’s Manual
for engine-
specific
procedures.)
⇒
Are you sitting on seat? Is parking brake set? Engine
will not start unless one of those two conditions is met.
⇒
Is the key in the START position?
⇒
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 throttle adjustment and cable 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 plug hole and crank the engine briefly to blow
out any oil in the cylinder, then wipe off the plug and
reinsert it.
⇒
Is the air filter clean? If not, clean or replace it.
⇒
Check connections for the Operator Presence switch
beneath the seat cushion, at the key switch, and at the
engine.
⇒
If your engine still won’t start, call 1(800) DR-OWNER
(376-9637) for assistance.
⇒
Have you checked all the items in the Starting section
on page 10? If not, do so now.
⇒
Check wire connections — especially the ground
connection (large black wire coming from the battery)
where it connects to the frame.
