To start the Clarke 7140671 PW80A, ensure that the fuel valve is open, the choke is set to the closed position, and the ignition switch is turned on. Pull the starter cord gently until resistance is felt, then pull sharply to start the engine.
Use clean, fresh unleaded petrol with an octane rating of 86 or higher. Avoid using ethanol-blended fuels as they can cause starting and running problems.
It is recommended to change the oil every 20 hours of operation or at the start of each season. Use SAE 10W-30 oil for best performance.
Check if the suction hose and strainer are clear of obstructions. Ensure all connections are airtight and fill the pump casing with water to help initiate priming.
Clean the air filter every 25 hours of use or more frequently in dusty conditions. Remove the filter, wash it in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.
Common causes include a dirty air filter, low oil level, or a blocked cooling air intake. Ensure regular maintenance and check the cooling system for any obstructions.
Check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is clean and properly connected, and verify the ignition switch is in the 'on' position. Additionally, inspect for any fuel line blockages.
Drain the fuel system completely, change the oil, clean the pump thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Cover the pump to prevent dust accumulation.
Flush the pump with clean water to remove any debris or chemicals. Run the pump with fresh water for a few minutes, then drain and dry it before storage.
Remove the spark plug and use a feeler gauge to check the gap, which should be set to 0.7-0.8 mm. Adjust the gap by gently bending the side electrode as needed.
