- Low Oil: Check the oil level and its viscosity to ensure it meets the manufacturer's recommendations.
- Faulty Carburetor: Clean or adjust the carburetor. If it's worn out completely replace the carburetor.
- Ignition Timing: Incorrect timing can lead to insufficient combustion, causing overheating.
- Fuel Problem: Check that you're using the correct fuel type, as using lower octane than specified can cause overheating.
- Cooling Fins Dirty: Clean the engine's cooling fins to ensure good heat dissipation.
- Bad Fuel: Bad or old fuel might cause the engine to run hotter than normal. Always use fresh gasoline rated for your engine.
- Overloaded Engine: Make sure the engine is not working beyond its rated capacity, as overloading can cause it to overheat.
- Restriction in Airflow: Check for any blockages in the air filter or muffler that may be restricting airflow and causing the engine to run hotter.
- Spark Plug Issues: Check the spark plug condition. If it's worn out or damaged, replace it with the proper spark plug.
