TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Run switch is in the OFF position.

gapped.
Engine switch/fuel valve/choke lever is in
OFF or RUN position.
Engine stored without treating or draining
gasoline, or refueled with bad gasoline.
Dirty fuel filter.
CO sensor LED is flashing red, indicating
a CO hazard.
CO sensor LED is flashing yellow and/
or making an audible chirp, indicating a

Dirty air filter.
Engine stored without treating or draining
gasoline, or refueled with bad gasoline.
Circuit breaker is tripped.

Item plugged in is defective.
An occasional light "knocking" or "ping-
ing" under heavy load is not a cause for
concern. However, if the knocking or ping-
ing occurs under normal load at a steady
engine speed, the problem may be with
the brand of gasoline being used.
