      Fill the fuel tank if the engine turns over but does not start. An empty or low fuel tank will prevent the engine from starting.

      Check the battery connections if the engine will not turn over when you attempt to start the ignition. Tighten the connections if they are loose.

      Replace the battery if the battery connections are secure and the engine will not turn over. Low battery voltage will prevent the engine from starting.

      Turn the engine off and check the jet pump for debris or weeds if the engine overheats. Debris in the jet pump causes the engine to have to work harder.
