Flooded Engine; Engine Will Not Start; Identifying The Problem - Hisun HS700UTV-4 Maintenance Handbook

Flooded engine

If the engine fails to start after several attempts, it is probably flooded. This occurs when too much
fuel is drawn into the engine and the spark plug fails to ignite it. The smell of gasoline is often evident
when the engine is flooded. Troubleshoot a flooded engine as follows:
1. Open the throttle fully and hold in this
stoke ten times to clear the engine. Close the throttle.
2. Check and repair ignition system.
3. If the engine still does not

Identifying the Problem

If the engine does not start, perform the following steps in order while remembering the Engine
Principals and Operating Requirements described in this chapter. If the engine fails to start after
performing these checks, refer to the troubleshooting procedures indicated in the steps. If the engine
starts, but idles or runs roughly, refer to Poor Engine Performance in this chapter.
1. Refer to Starting the Engine in this chapter to make sure all starting procedures are correct.
2. If the engine seems flooded, refer to Starting The Engine in this chapter. If the engine is not
flooded, continue with Step 3.
3. Remove the cap from the fuel tank and make sure the fuel tank and make sure the fuel tank has a
sufficient amount of fuel to start the engine.
4. If there is sufficient fuel in the fuel tank, remove the spark plug immediately after attempting to
start the engine. The plug's insulator should be wet, indicating that fuel is reaching the engine. If
the plug tip is dry, fuel is not reaching the engine. Refer to Fuel System in this chapter. If there is
fuel on the spark plug and the engine will not start, the engine may not have adequate spark.
Continue with Step 5.
5. Make sure the direct ignition coil or spark plug wire is secure. Push the direct ignition coil or spark
plug cap and slightly rotate it to clean the electrical connection between the plug and the
connector. If the engine does not start. Continue with step 6

ENGINE WILL NOT START

A cracked or damaged direct ignition coil or spark
plug cap and cable can cause intermittent problems
that are difficult to diagnose. If the engine
occasionally misfires or cuts out, use a spray bottle
to wet the direct ignition coil or plug cap and plug
cable while the engine is running. Water that enters
one of theses areas causes an arc through the
position. Then start the engine firmly through its entire
