The most common complaint about small engines is that
they "WONT START"
The second most common complaint is that it runs, but
runs poorly.
In this program we will discuss what is needed for these
engines to start, what is needed from them to run
properly and what tests and troubleshooting steps can be
used when either of these two situations are
encountered.
Let's examine how to identify the problem you may face
with a small engine.
If you have a no‐start issue or a poor performance issue,
there are some Facts that we need to understand when
troubleshooting these engines.
We will look at the FACTS
F—Fuel
A – Air
C – Compression
T – Timing
S – Spark
For the engine to run properly we need to have, Fuel, Air,
Compression, Timing & Spark.
These will be discussed in more depth later in this
program.
