Technical information

Automatic Excess Fuel Device
The engine is fitted with an automatic
excess fuel device which becomes
operative, ready for the next start, when
the engine is stopped. If the engine stops
other than by the operation of the engine
control, the control (G) must be turned
anti-clockwise to the 'STOP' position and
released before the device can operate.
As the engine runs up to speed the
excess fuel device will automatically reset
to the normal running position.
Cold Start, Below -10 deg.C (14 deg.F)
A cup and plunger is fitted to each
combustion air intake port.
With the fuel turned on, turn the engine
for up to 20 revolutions to prime the fuel
and lubrication systems.
Withdraw the plunger (H) and fill one
third of the cup (J) with the same type
of lubricating oil as used in the engine.
Replace the plunger and inject the oil
just before starting the engine.
The device must not be used
more than three times in
succession during the same
attempt to start the engine.
Hand starting TS engines
A non-limited kick-back handle (K) or
limited kick-back handle (L) system may
be fitted to the engine.
The two handles are not interchangeable
and care must be taken to ensure the
correct type is retained with the engine.
Always use the correct starting handle
which has been designed for the engine.
Ensure there are no burrs on the handle.
Before attempting to use the handle, clean
and lightly oil that part of it which fits onto
the engine.
Do not attempt to use a
handle if it is damaged in any
way.
