Check the fuel level in the CV15 if the engine will not start, or if it starts and shuts down right away. Always check the fuel level and top off if necessary before trying to start the engine.

Clean the area around the cooling air intakes to make sure they are not obstructed. A blocked air intake can cause the CV15 to run roughly.

Check the oil level before you start the CV15. Make sure the area around the filler cap is free of grass and other debris, then unthread the cap and read the dipstick carefully. Add oil if needed. If the CV15 uses a large amount of oil you may need to have it professionally serviced to avoid damage to the engine.

Remove the spark plug from the CV15 and check its condition if the engine will not start, or if it starts and runs poorly. You should also check the condition of the spark plug every 200 hours as part of routine maintenance. Replace the spark plug if it appears worn or soiled.
