Section 03 TROUBLESHOOTING
ENGINE DETONATION OR PINGING
ENGINE LACKS ACCELERATION OR POWER
ENGINE RUNS TOO FAST
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM PROPULSION SYSTEM
OTHER OBSERVATION POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
Ignition • Timing too far advanced
• Spark plug heat range too high
• Check / reset
• Check / change to correct range
Engine temperature • Engine overheats
• Fuel of poor quality
• Check, refer to engine overheats
• Use good quality fuel
OTHER OBSERVATION POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
Engine revs lower than its
maximum operational RPM
(787 engine)
Peak performance is delayed
until higher RPM range is
reached (787 engine)
• Weak spark
• Carburetion, jetting too rich / lean
• Throttle does not open fully
• Low compression
• Exhaust system restriction
• Water in fuel or oil
• Debris in needle valve
• Impeller leading edge damaged
• Twisted crankshaft
• RAVE valve does not open
•
•
• RAVE valve is stuck opened
•
• Check / replace, refer to section 08-02
• Check / adjust, refer to section 06-03
• Check / readjust, refer to section 06-03
• Check / repair, refer to section 04-02
• Check / clean
• Check / siphon / replace
• Check / clean, refer to section 06-03
• Check / replace, refer to section 09-01
• Check, refer to section 04-03
• Check, refer to section 04-02
•
•
• Check, refer to section 04-02
•
OTHER OBSERVATION POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
Engine RPM too high • Faulty rev limiter
• Improper impeller pitch (too low)
• Check, refer to section 08-02
• Check / replace, refer to section 09-01
Jet pump cavitation • Damaged leading or trailing edge of
impeller
• Check / replace
NOTE : Leading edge damage contrib-
utes to poor performance from start.
Trailing edge damage contributes to poor top
performance and stator vanes erosion.
Jet pump ventilation • Air leak of pump housing or ride shoe • Check / reseal, refer to section 09-01
OTHER OBSERVATION POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
• Weeds / debris caught in intake grate or
impeller
• Low oil level in pump housing
• Damaged or bent drive shaft
• Broken motor mounts
• Check / clean
• Check / troubleshoot source of leak / refill
supply, refer to section 09-01
• Check / replace, refer to section 09-02
• Check / replace, refer to section 04-01
