User Manual
Slide the venturi body back into the
carburetor body using the marks you made
to line it up so the venturi body guide can
be reinstalled into the venturi body. Use care
not to strip the threads. Do not overtighten.
Starting the Engine
Please refer to the Break-in and Starting Instructions on page 4 and 5 of the “Small-Medium Single
Cylinder 4-Stroke Engine Instructions (SAIMAN1).” Since the venturi system uses only the High
Speed Needle valve (85) to control the rich/lean mixture of the engine, we suggest using 4 ½ to 5
turns out from the fully closed position of the needle valve. You want to be sure you have a rich
mixture setting when first starting the engine.
Do not exceed 4,000 rpm during the first 10 minutes of operation. Subsequent runs may be made at
a slightly leaner setting. Forty minutes is considered sufficient time for normal break-in prior to the
first flight.
