Part three in the no-start troubleshooting guide is to check for loose bolts. Before proceeding with part three, be sure to review:
Because these engines are relatively sensitive to air/fuel mixture, a loose screw or bolt that allows air into (or out of) your engine could be the result of a no-start. Check that all bolts are tight including:
Loose bolts can easily result in too much air entering the fuel/air mix resulting in a lean seize so don't forget this simple yet very important step.
Still no start? Proceed to step four: Air Filter

- Air filter/carb/manifold
- Exhaust
- Cylinder head
- Ingition coil (behind fan cover)
- Spark Plug
