Engine Tavria 246

Symptoms:
- Engine overheating during operation
- Poor fuel economy and reduced power output
- Rough idling and stalling at low speeds
- Difficulty starting the engine, especially in cold conditions
- Excessive exhaust smoke, often black or blue

Diagnosis:
- Check coolant levels and radiator condition for leaks or blockages causing overheating
- Inspect carburetor and fuel system for clogging or improper adjustment leading to poor fuel mixture
- Examine ignition system components such as spark plugs, distributor cap, and ignition timing for wear or misalignment causing rough running
- Test compression to identify worn piston rings or valves contributing to power loss and smoke
- Look for oil leaks or burning oil signs indicating gasket or seal failures

Fixes:
- Flush and refill the cooling system; repair or replace damaged radiator hoses or thermostat
- Clean and adjust the carburetor; replace fuel filters and check fuel pump operation
- Replace worn spark plugs and ignition components; set ignition timing to factory specifications
- Overhaul engine components if compression is low, including piston rings and valve seals
- Repair oil leaks by replacing gaskets and seals; change engine oil regularly to maintain lubrication

Prevention:
- Regularly check and maintain coolant levels and radiator condition to prevent overheating
- Perform routine carburetor cleaning and fuel system inspections to ensure proper fuel delivery
- Replace spark plugs and ignition parts at recommended intervals to maintain smooth engine operation
- Conduct periodic compression tests to detect early wear and address issues promptly
- Change engine oil and filters according to schedule to avoid premature engine wear and leaks
