Why is my DK2 Power OPC513 engine losing power?
- KKimberly JonesAug 7, 2025
If your DK2 Power Paper Shredder engine isn't running smoothly or lacks power, try these steps: * Ensure the throttle lever is in the “RABBIT” position and turn off the choke. * Check if the air filter is clean; if dirty, replace it. * Inspect the spark plug; replace it if it’s fouled or cracked. * If the spark plug is oily, remove it, use a rag to cover the plug hole, and pull the recoil cord several times to remove oil from the cylinder. Then, clean and reinsert the plug. * Make sure you're using fresh, clean, unleaded gas, and replace old gas. Use a fuel stabilizer if storing gas longer than 30 days. * Confirm the engine has the correct amount of clean oil.
