Many of the troubles that can lead to loss of power in an engine may also cause the engine to stop and stall suddenly or may even prevent it from starting. Compare the list of some of the troubles that may cause a power loss (fig. 3-41) with those in figures 3-36 and 3-40. Such items as insufficient air, insufficient fuel, and faulty operation of the governor appear on all three charts. Many of the troubles listed are closely related, and the elimination of one may eliminate others.
The operator of an internal-combustion engine may be confronted with additional major difficulties, such as those indicated in figure 3-42. Here, again, you can see that many of these possible troubles are similar to those that have already been discussed in connection with starting failures and with engine stalling and stopping. The discussion that follows covers only those troubles not previously considered
