2. Then turn the car upside down and pull the pullstarter rapidly until

all the excess fuel has emptied onto the oor through the glowplug

hole. Make sure you do this outside safely. This process is really only

necessary when the engine is cold or brand new and tight.

Ret the plug ensuring the copper gasket washer is also retted.

Wind it all the way in and then re-wind 1 to 1.5 turns. This allows

gases to escape thus lowering the engines initial compression.

3. Start engine. Add fuel to the fuel tank using a suitable fuel bottle.

Use a glow plug heater to ignite the engine plug as illustrated and

start to pull the the pull starter (be careful not to extend too far as

mentioned previously). Ensure you have a small amount of carburetor

open (around 2mm) to allow for air intake to help starting.

Warning! Flooding of the Engine

The most common cause of engine and pullstarter damage is from the

‘ooding” of the engine or a hydro-lock. More accurately this is too

much fuel inside the engines crankcase causing the piston to lock.

The piston rises to the top of the combustion chamber and instead

of compressing a gas i.e. fuel/air mixture it has to try and compress a

liquid, fuel only, which isn’t possible. This puts massive strain on the

piston, conrod and crankshaft as well as the starter. Invariably one

component will fail, usually the conrod causing massive damage to

the engines internals.

To avoid ooding the engine, always start the engine from cold using

the methods mentioned above and if at any time the engine becomes

dicult to turn over with the pullstarter, then remove the glowplug and

empty all excess fuel out and start again. The pullstarter assembly

can only be damaged by either over extension or a ooded engine.

So if you break a pull start this is possible warning of a ooded

engine.

IMPORTANT

– make sure the car is secured or o the ground while attempting to

start.

The engine will run “lumpily” or stop after a few seconds so try and

keep it running by blipping the throttle. Tighten the glowplug while the

engine is running if possible. If the engine has stalled restart with the

plug tightened. The above procedure should always be followed from

cold or if diculty with starting is being experienced.

4. Stopping the engine. To stop

the engine either use a stop tool to

cover the exhaust outlet or use a

ywheel stop tool.

IMPORTANT – Do not use ngers

as the exhaust will be HOT and the

ywheel ROTATING!
