Engine Model:<br />
RV150 <strong>and</strong> SV150<br />
RV40, V35<br />
D: Micro switch not engaging:<br />
1. Hold the OPC bar gently in to the main<br />
h<strong>and</strong>le <strong>and</strong> listen for a faint click coming<br />
from the back right h<strong>and</strong> corner of the<br />
engine. You are checking here for a<br />
micro-switch engaging which allows the<br />
electrical feed to the spark plug. If there is<br />
no audible click it may be that the microswitch<br />
is not fully engaged.<br />
2. In this case, follow the OPC cable down to<br />
the back right h<strong>and</strong> corner of the engine<br />
where the lever moves when the OPC is<br />
depressed. Come BACKWARDS along<br />
the bare metal cable (2) some 8cms to<br />
where the metal bracket (5) grips the<br />
black plastic cable covering (directly<br />
below the fuel filler).<br />
3. Release the plastic cable cover by<br />
compressing the 2 lugs (X) inwards on the<br />
plastic cable cover that are splayed out<br />
<strong>and</strong> hold it in place. Feed the black<br />
plastic cable cover BACKWARDS through<br />
the bracket (5).<br />
X<br />
4. With a pair of pliers bend the metal<br />
bracket (5) BACKWARDS 4 mm towards<br />
the h<strong>and</strong>le, <strong>and</strong> then replace the cable in<br />
the bracket. This will now engage the<br />
micro-switch by pulling it further, <strong>and</strong> you<br />
should now be able to start the mower in<br />
the normal way.<br />
E: Faulty coil:<br />
If the coil is faulty there will be no spark. This is a job to be carried out by<br />
your local service dealer.<br />
