Fueling

Fill your fuel bottle with fuel and lift the lid of the fuel

tank and fill the tank (fig. 10). Make sure to put the lid

back on both the fuel bottle and fuel jug.

Insert the Spin-Start into the back plate of the engine. Cover the exhaust outlet with a rag.

Press the Spin-Start button to turn the engine over for a few seconds. When you see the

fuel reach the carburetor, release the Spin-Start button. Excessive priming will flood the

engine and make it difficult to start.

Install Battery

Remove the cover from the Glow plug igniter.

Install a "C" size Alkaline battery with the "+"

end of the battery as shown.

Start your Engine

Attach the glow plug igniter to the glow plug. If you are using an aftermarket glow

igniter with a meter make sure the needle is in the green or good condition.

Holding the starter securely, press on the switch button and the engine should

turn over and start.

If the engine does not turn over, it may be flooded or the battery in the starter

needs to be charged. Use the 4-way wrench supplied to loosen the glow plug at

least two turns and press the Spin-Start button again. Raw fuel should come out

around the glow plug. Tighten the glow plug and resume the starting procedure.

Follow the engine break-in procedure, found in the Operations Guide, before

attempting any racing or high performance operation. Use caution when adding

fuel while the engine is running. Do not over fill or spill fuel outside the tank.
