 TROUBLESHOOTING
 · When hard starting or poor performance at low speed occurs, check the crankcase breather for
   white smoke. If white smoke is found, it means that the piston rings are worn, stuck or broken.

 Compression too low or uneven
 compression                                              Excessive smoke from exhaust muffler
 · Worn or damaged cylinder and piston rings              · Worn or damaged piston rings
 · Worn, stuck or broken piston rings                     · Worn or damaged cylinder and piston

 Compression too high                                     Abnormal noisy piston
 · Excessive carbon build-up in combustion                · Worn cylinder, piston and piston rings
   chamber or on piston head                              · Worn piston pin hole and piston pin
                                                          · Incorrectly installed piston
