Starting Procedure
If you have read and understood this entire manual, and followed its recommendations, you are
ready to start your new engine.

Insure that your ignition battery(s) are charged

Insure that your plane is properly and safely anchored (use one, two, or more people if
necessary)

•
Switch the ignition back on

Precision tuning of the carburetor
The use of a tachometer is highly recommended. And, again, never adjust the needles while the
engine is running!
1. Using the tachometer tune the engine for maximum power with the high needle (H).
2. Again using the tachometer; richen the high needle (H) until the motor runs 100-200 RPM
less than the maximum RPM. Now you are tuned slightly rich on the high needle (H).
3. Let the engine run at idle for one minute. Check to see that the idle RPM remains constant.
4. If the idle RPM drops until the engine stops; the low needle (L) is too rich. Lean the low
needle (L) until a constant idle RPM is achieved.
