1. Engine Crankshaft Will not turn when start switch is
on
Cause Correction
Cause Correction
• Too much Binding in Control Linkage • Engine can start, but with hot oil,
actuator does not develop enough pump
pressure to move linkage. Check
linkage effort and correct

2b. Engine will not start - Actuator Terminal Shaft opens
at least half way or more at cranking as observed by
outboard shaft rotation
Cause Correction
• Bad quality fuel or water in fuel • Remove fuel from the tank, lines and
fuel manifolds. Install new fuel filters
and put a good grade of clean fuel in
the fuel tank. Use priming pump to fill
system with fuel and to remove air.

5. Engine misfiring or running rough
Cause Correction
• Fuel pressure is low • Make sure there is fuel in the fuel tank.
Look for leaks or bad bends in the fuel
line between fuel tank and fuel transfer
pump. Look for air in the fuel system,
sticking, binding or defective fuel
bypass valve. Check fuel pressure. The
outlet pressure of the fuel transfer pump
must be a minimum of 415 kPa (60 psi)
at full load speed. The pressure in both
fuel manifolds must be 415 to 450 kPa
(60 to 65 psi). If fuel pressure is lower
than the above pressure, install new
filters. If fuel pressure is still low,
check the fuel transfer pump and fuel
pressure regulator valve at the fuel
manifold.

5. Engine misfiring or running rough
Cause Correction
• Air in Fuel System • Find the air leak in the fuel system and
correct it. If air is in the fuel system, it
will generally get in on the suction side
of the fuel transfer pump.
• Leak or break in Fuel Line between • Install a new line.
Fuel Manifold and Cylinder Head
• Defect in Fuel Injector (s) • Temperature of an exhaust manifold
port, when the engine runs at low idle
speed, can be an indication of the
condition of a fuel injector. Low
temperature at an exhaust manifold port
is an indication of no fuel to the
cylinder. This can possibly be an
indication of an injector with a defect.
Extra high temperature at an exhaust
manifold port can be an indication of
too much fuel to the cylinder, also
caused by an injector with a defect.
