9. TROUBLESHOOTING
To assure maximum service life from your carrier, don't disassemble it un-
necessarily. If the following basic troubleshooting does not get you and
your carrier back to work, it is time to consult your authorized Honda
dealer.
Check the following points if the engine does not start.
l
Is there sufficient fuel?
l
Is there sufficient engine oil?
l
Is there a spark at the spark plug?
a. Remove the spark plug cap. Clean any dust from around the spark plug
base, then remove the spark plug.
b. Install the spark plug in the plug cap.
c. Turn the engine switch on.
d. Grounding the side electrode to any engine ground, pull the recoil
starter to see if sparks jump across the gap.
If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before testing the
spark plug or starting the engine. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite.
l
Have you followed the starting method as described on page 15.
Check the following if the engine runs but the carrier does not operate
properly:
