CLEANING

Remember that the performance and life of your engine depend directly on its care and maintenance, as described below.

FUEL FILTER

Tiny dirt particles, present in all fuels, can accumulate and partially obstruct the flow of the fuel, causing an incorrect and unreliable carburation, with the consequent reduction of performance.
A fuel filter must be installed on the suction pipe in your supply container to prevent entry of any foreign bodies in the fuel can. We also recommend installing a good filter between the tank and the carburetor.

CARBURETOR

For the carburetor to function correctly, the small holes through which the fuel passes must be kept clean.
At regular intervals, disassemble the carburetor and clean each needle and adjustment screw. Carefully check the O-rings on the various pins, making sure they are not damaged or broken. We recommend changing the O-rings regularly even if they are not broken.
After cleaning, reassemble the carburetor placing the needles in the positions they occupied previously. Small errors are possible in positioning, so we recommend checking the carburation when the engine is restarted.

TANK

After each competition, empty the fuel tank completely. Then charge the plug and restart the engine to burn up completely the fuel still present in the silicone pipe. This ensures that the remaining fuel does not deposit residue oil on the tank floor which would create problems when the engine is used later.

ENGINE

When the engine stops because it has used up all the fuel in the tank, remove the carburetor and inject a few drops of standard oil into the engine, and turn the engine using the electric starting box for the 4-5 seconds necessary to distribute the oil over all its internal parts. This procedure reduces the risk of internal corrosion until the engine is next started.
To clean the exterior, we recommend use of methanol or kerosene. Do not use solvents that could damage the silicone fuel pipe.
