A. The engine does not start: make sure that
• there is fuel in the tank (Figure 7-1 No. 10).
the fuel tap, if present in the engine, is not closed.
•
• when the engine is cold, the fuel knob is on START position.
when the engine is warm, the fuel knob is not on START position (the engine might get flooded).
•
B. Having operated the lever, the wire/blades do not rotate:

check if the belt has come out of the pulleys.
•
• make sure that the lever can exert a suitable traction to the belt.

• the fuel knob is not on STOP position.
• the fuel reaches the carburettor.
• the air filter is not jammed (Figure 7-1 No. 13).
the vent hole on the fuel cap is not closed by impurities (Figure 7-1 No.
