generator feel on its side in my van has leaked oil and now will not start any help

brian, December 2009

very first thing to check is spark plug. whip it out and stick it back in ht lead.hold the plug firmly against the cleanest part of the framework.would advise putting glove on as little jults of electricity will be greeting you for sure. make sure its switched on give her a pull.if no spark then new coil will be needed.if however there is a spark then check make sure your petrol is clean and water free.this is common believe it or not. if petrol is clean check on /off switch . should be a wire going straight in to that switch. make sure the connection is good.im pretty confident you wont have to go any further in your fault finding mission. if you do give me a shout. be glad to help.

Any time an engine goes on it side it oil ends up in the head. If you pull the start rope it feels like the engine is sized up. Remove the spark plug and rotate the engine and don't stand in front of it or you have to change your shirt. Clean the oil of the plug return it back in the engine . Take a 10 mm spanner and remove the fuel bole on the carburator clean it reinstall .check oil level,honda have an oil sensor . If IT LO IT NO GO.
