Trouble shooting:
Your ROTAX engine requires basically two essentials to
run:
Spark and correct fuel/air mixture. The
majority of problems quite often are a simple lack of one or the other. Organize yourself and follow
a set pattern to eliminate components to find your trouble.
Fuel: start by checking the supply (tank), fittings (loose), filter (clogged), float chamber (fouled),jets
(blocked).
Spark: try new
plugs.
Problems of a more complex nature are best left to a ROTAX engine technician: see your dealer.
