PROBLEM:
ENGINE DOES’N START
1. Turn all adjusting screws to factory settings. Check if the engine starts.
2. Turn the L needle slightly leaner (millimetre range). Check if the engine starts.
3. Repeat several times in the direction of leaner.
4. If this does not work, try the direction fatter.
Keep full throttle needle to factory settings.
No Spark:
To check if the spark plug is working,
disconnect the ignition wire from the top of the
plug and unscrew the plug. Reconnect the
ignition cable and hold the plug to the ground
(metal motor housing). Only hold the plug by the
rubber plug and do not touch any other
component. (High voltage!). Now pull on the pull
starter. Now you should see the sparks.
If this is not the case, check the distance
between the magnet and the flywheel. To do
this, the pull starter and the lateral motor housing must be removed.
The ignition coil sits above the flywheel. Check the gap distance. This should not be more than 0.3mm. For
assembly, you can put a piece of paper in between. Then check that the flywheel does not drag.
RUN-IN STATE
After the engine runs in, use only 2-stroke fully synthetic oil (e.g. Motul 800 2-Stroke) in a mixing ratio of
1:25. For example, fill a five litre jerrycan with five litres of gasoline and add 200ml of oil.
Turn in the L-needle until the engine no longer takes on gas, then turn it on until it picks up gas, also
abruptly.
If necessary, screw in H-needle, align with spark plug combustion image.
Spark combustion image:
White: Engine setting too lean: Danger Engine damage! - make it fatter.
Brown: optimally adjusted engine.
Black: Too fat. Tip: In very hot temperatures, drive with a fatter attitude, so as not to risk engine damage.
Important note at the end:
Once a petrol engine has been set, it will always run, if not the cause could be dirt in the carburettor or
defective ignition or slipped ignition, never the carburettor setting.
