EVENTS ON THE ROAD

If the engine works normally, it should start with no difficulties. Should
the engine fail to start after repeated attempts, check to see whether
the problem is with the carburettor or with the ignition.

CARBURETTOR PROBLEMS

- The engine is cold.
- There is no petrol in the tank.
- The petrol tap is off.
- The petrol-cap hole (breather) is obstructed.
- There is an obstruction between the petrol tank and the carburettor
tap.
- Partial breakage of one or more of the reeds in the reed valve
assembly or their opening.

IGNITION PROBLEMS

- Check to see that the sparking plug is clean and the electrode gap
is correct.
- Make sure that the sparking plug is producing sparks; to do this,
bring the sparking plug (connected to the tube) closer to the fins or
outside area of the cylinder, then kick the starting pedal.
- Make sure that the sparking-plug tube is properly connected.
- If the sparking plug fails to produce sparks, replace it with a new
one and check again.
Should the moped still fail to start after the above checking operations,
there may be a mechanical problem. Have it checked by an authorised
GAS GAS Dealer.
