10. TROUBLESHOOTING

When the engine will not start:
1.Is there enough fuel?
2.Is the fuel valve to the ON position?
3.Is the engine switch to the ON position?
4.Is gasoline reaching the carburetor?
To check, turn the fuel valve to the DRAIN position (see page 62).
Fuel should flow out freely. Turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.
If any fuel is spilled, make sure the area is dry before starting the
engine. Spilled fuel or fuel vapor may ignite.
5.Is the spark plug in good condition?
Remove and inspect the spark plug. Clean, readjust gap and dry the
spark plug. Replace it if necessary.
6.If the engine still does not start, take the tiller to an authorized Honda
dealer.
