Simple Fault Finding
Here is a very simple look at what I have found when my Odyssey doesn't
go the way I was expecting it to go . I have found that most of the time
it is a very simple fault that usually causes the greif .
These are just very , very basic .
Won't start
|
No Fuel . Check the tank , is it full - check the pump is ok , blocked line .
No Spark . Check the plug , wires to the coil - tight , make sure all the
connections are secured to the frame or motor .
|
No Power
|
Age of Fuel . Has it gone off .
Lack of Fuel . Is there a blocked fuel line , Filter , Jet in carby .
Air Supply . Is there enough air getting to the motor .
Belt . Is it slipping .
Throttle . Is the cable sticking or stretched .
|
No Power When HOT
|
Open Circut on electrics . As it heats up the wires ,cables , connections
open circut due to expansion . When it cools it works ok because the wires reconnect themselves . This can also happen with the plug .
|
With the electrics , if just playing with the connections do nothing and you suspect the
coil or magneto take them to an auto electrician and get them tested . BUT if you need a new part you will just have to go to RIP OFF CENTRAL ( HONDA ) and buy one .
