1) Before attempting to start your engine make sure that the ignition is switched off, the choke valve is closed and the throttle
valve is about half opened. Then turn the engine 3–4 revolutions, assuming the engine has not been flooded.
2) When you are ready to start the engine switch the ignition on, open the choke valve and set the throttle at a slightly high idle speed.
Be sure to have a helper hold the model securely. Using an electric starter begin cranking the engine. It should fire within seconds of
applying the starter. Allow the engine to idle for 30–45 seconds.
3) If the engine does not start even after using the starter to crank the engine a second time, open the throttle to maximum, turn
off the ignition and turn the engine about 4 revolutions. Switch the ignition on again, then restart the engine with throttle at a
fast idle position and the choke valve set open.
4) At this point if the engine still will not start, unscrew the spark plug and check its contacts. Clean any possible excess fuel (i.e.
an indication of engine flooding) and screw it in again. Further starting should only be done with the throttle at idle position. If the
plug is dry then probably not enough fuel has been drawn into the carburetor. If that is the case, check the fuel feed and then return
to the instructions given in paragraph 1.
Starting the Engine
Evolution Engines ® new carburetor comes adjusted to
a basic setting. This setting should be maintained
during the initial break-in runs.
Before you first start the engine, make sure that the spark
plug is screwed in and tightened and that the plug socket
is fitted in place and fastened down properly. Fix the ignition
sensor in the proper position above the magnet with the
screws enclosed. *Follow the directions in the ignition system
addendum to mount the ignition module in your model.
Important: Never turn the engine over with the ignition turned
on unless the spark plug is inserted in the plug socket. This
could lead to ignition damage.
