Difficult Engine Starting

Quick Check: Note whether the engine requires repeated starting attempts before running.

Prevention Tip: Keep the fuel system free from debris and stale-fuel residue.

Excessive Fuel Mixture

Quick Check: Look for signs of fuel-rich operation such as rough running or excessive exhaust smoke.

Fix Suggestion: Service the carburetor and correct the underlying fuel-metering issue according to the applicable tiller service procedure.

Prevention Tip: Store the tiller with the fuel system prepared according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
