What to Do When a Pull-Start Gasoline Engine Won't Start?

[Camargo]

Solutions for a pull-start gasoline engine that won't start: 1. If the carburetor is clogged, clean it with compressed air and Car Serv cleaner; 2. If the gasoline is impure or there is water or other impurities in the fuel tank, clean the tank and replace with genuine 93-octane gasoline; 3. Add engine oil in time; 4. If there is severe carbon buildup on the piston and cylinder, leading to poor compression, disassemble and clean them thoroughly. The correct starting steps are: 1. Check if the kill switch is in the ON position and if the fuel tank switch is open; 2. Close the choke valve of the gasoline engine, pull the starter rope—first pull out the slack, then give a strong pull to start the engine; 3. After the engine starts, do not rush to open the choke valve immediately; let the engine run for 2 to 3 seconds before opening the choke valve.
