A spark plug is examined and it is notice that the plug is fouled with a stick black substance. Tech a says that the engine is running too rich (too much fuel). Tech b says that the plug is oil fouled and that a proper burning plug would be light in tan color. Who is correct?
Technician A says that broken engine mounts
can cause the fan to hit the shroud.
Technician B says that missing or broken air
dams can cause an engine to overheat. Who
is correct?
Select one:
a. Technician A only
b. Technician B only
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B
An engine starts and runs briefly after a small quantity of fuel is put into the spark plug hole, but it doesn't not start when fuel is added to the carburetor throat. Tech a says that the problem may be that the exhaust valve is not closing completely due to carbon buildup. Tech b says it may be due to a defective carburetor mounting gasket. Who is correct?
