For TOYAN Engine Starting Problems:

Toyan engines are equipped with advanced technology to support dual mode starting and all Toyan engines support starting with methanol as fuel. In the event of ignition failure, try using methanol as fuel and replace the spark plug with an F-type electric plug. After the engine has started successfully, you can try the engine again with petrol, while paying attention to the ignition angle.
