Clogged fuel tank vent

To check if the fuel tank vent is clogged, do the following test:

1. Immediately after the engine stalls and cannot be restarted, place the unit on its side and fully loosen the fuel tank cap.

2. Retighten the fuel tank cap securely.

3. Attempt to start the engine. If it starts but stalls again after a short time, the fuel tank vent is likely clogged.
