When the engine will not start:
CAUTION:
Be sure to perform the following checks in a well ventilated area.
1. Is there enough fuel? (see page 38)
2. Is the fuel valve lever turned to the ON position? (see page 45)
3. Is not stuck the auto choke system by a foreign material (ice, etc.)?
(see page 47)
4. Is gasoline reaching the carburetor?
To check, loosen the drain knob with the fuel valve lever turned to
the ON position (see page 100).
Fuel should flow freely.
If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the
engine. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite.
5. Are the drive clutch lever and auger clutch switch off? (see page 77)
6. Is the engine switch on? (see page 47)
7. Check the spark plug for dirt, wet and the gap (see page 85).
a. Clean the spark plug.
b. Reinstall the plug if it is reused, or replace with a new one.
If the engine still does not start, take the snow thrower to an
authorized Honda snow thrower dealer.
• If the drive control warning indicator (orange) comes on and blinks
during driving and it does not go off after restarting the engine, have
your snow thrower checked by your authorized Honda snow
thrower dealer promptly.
• If the drive control warning indicator (red) blinks during driving, move
the snow thrower to a safe place and stop the engine. Wait for a while
and restart the engine. The snow thrower is normal if the drive
control indicator goes off after the engine starts. If it does not, have
your snow thrower checked by your authorized Honda snow thrower
dealer.
