If the engine does not start after 10
seconds, wait a while (for about 15
seconds) before attempting to start
again.
If the starting motor is working for too
•
long, the battery will go flat and motor
seize up will occur. Always leave the
starting key turned on, at the "ON"
position, while the engine is running.
(2) Battery
Check the level of the fluid in the battery every
month. When the level has dropped to the
lower mark replenish with distilled water up to
the upper mark.
•
If the battery fluid is short, the engine may
not start because too little electricity is
reaching the starter motor. Always keep
the fluid level between the upper and
lower limits.
If too much battery fluid is supplied, the
•
fluid may spill and corrode the
surrounding parts.
4-2 Electric starting using
decompression (weak battery)
If the battery is weak, discharged, or old, it may
not be able to generate enough power to start
the engine (Replace the battery and repeat
4-1 Electric starting)
It is also possible to decompress the engine
before starting, which would require less power
to start the engine and could enable an electric
start of the unit with a weak battery.
Decompression process as follows:
Unscrew and remove the top cover
