Disadvantages of the CG10DE engine

  • The most famous problem with internal combustion engines is that their timing chains stretch and rattle;
  • In second place in popularity are floating speeds due to throttle contamination;
  • In third place is an unreliable thermostat, which can suddenly start acting weird;
  • We also note the quickly drying gaskets and seals, which is fraught with leaks;
  • The motor often troit due to moisture, which then easily seeps into the candle wells.
