  • Page 64 C. ENGINE MISSES UNDER LOAD Cause Remedy Spark plug fouled. Clean and regap spark plug. Spark plug porcelain cracked. Replace spark plug. Improper spark plug gap. Regap spark plug. Pitted magneto breaker points. Clean and dress breaker points. Replace badly pitted breaker points.
  • Page 65 Cause Remedy Governor not properly adjusted. Adjust governor. Carburetor not properly adjusted. Adjust carburetor. Intermittent spark at spark plug. Disconnect ignition cut-off wire at the engine. Crank engine. If spark, check ignition switch, safety switch and interlock switch. If no spark, check magneto. Check wires for poor connections cuts or breaks.
  • Page 66 Cause Remedy New seal damaged upon installation. Use proper seal protector tools and methods for installing another new seal. Bent crankshaft causing seal to leak. Check crankshaft for straightness and replace if necessary. (Never straighten a bent crankshaft) Oil seal driven too far into cavity. Remove seal and replace with new seal using the correct driver tool and procedures.
