1. Hard starting or stalling after starting.
2. Rough idle.
3. Misfiring or backfiring under load.
4. Afterburning (backfiring).

REPLACEMENT PARTS
The emission control systems on the engine is designed, built and certified to
conform to Canadian emission regulations. Genuine parts are recommended when
servicing the engine. Genuine replacement parts are manufactured to the same
standards as the original parts. Using replacement parts that are not of the original
design and quality may impair the effectiveness of the emission control system.
It is the responsibility of the aftermarket part manufacturer to certify that the part
will not void the engine’s compliance with emission standards and regulations
SERVICE THE AIR FILTER
NOTICE! Operating the engine with a damaged or missing air filter will allow
dust and debris to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear or scoring on
the engine pistons. Always ensure the air filter is in place.
A dirty air filter will restrict airflow to the carburetor, reducing the engine’s
performance. Clean the air filter more frequently than specified in the
maintenance schedule if the engine is used in dusty areas.
1. Remove the air cleaner’s outside cover (Fig. 6). Do not allow dirt and
debris from to fall into the air cleaner assembly.
