Starting of an overriched engine:
If you realize already when starting that the engine or the piston blocks, then the spark plug has to be taken out. Dry the wet spark plug with the
flame of a lighter or of a small gas burner. Bring the engine in neutral position (carburetor closed) and pull the rope repeatedly without mounted
spark plug. Screw in the hot spark plug, plug on the socket and pull the rope without the choke. If the spark plug appears wet again, remove the
fuel pipe from the carburetor and seal it. Then repeat the above described procedure. After the engine has started, let it run shortly, then switch
it off and attach the fuel pipe at the carburetor again. Then start the engine as usual.
Cleaning jobs at 1:6 Buggy and Monster models:
If you drive the models mostly off-road we recommend to control the air filter after each fill-up. If you still can see the oiled foam surface all-over
the complete outline, the air filter foam can be used furthermore.
If the surface is covered with a dirt film the foam filter has to be exchanged. Rinse the foam filter with washing-up liquid (always from inside to
outside), let it dry, check it on fissures and lubricate it with oil again. The most simple way to lubricate the foam filter is to seal the boring of the
foam filter with your thumb and fill it completely with air filter oil Item N°. 06441. Then press the foam carefully together until the whole foam is
completely drenched in oil. Remove surplus oil through kneading with a tissue or a cloth.
After rides on grass it’s imperative to demount the engine housing of the cylinder in order to remove the grass between the cylinder cooling fins.
If you don’t follow this instruction there may be the risk that not enough cooling air can circulate around the cylinder. This can lead to a signifi-
cant loss of power or even to a jamming of the piston. In order to make the cleaning procedure easier without dismounting the engine the gui-
ding rails at the engine housing can be removed. To take the engine housing off just remove the 2 fixing screws.
Control the starter housing too if in-coming grass surrounds the starter housing. The ventilation openings of the starter housing have to be com-
pletely cleansed to make sure that enough cooling air can be ingested again.
After rides under wet conditions f. e. rain or after cleaning the model with water we recommend to detach the clutch and free the fixing screws
as well as the clutch blocks from water. Otherwise it could be possible that fretting corrosion occurs which affects the correct function of the
clutch. It has turned out as helpful to lubricate the fixing screws slightly with copper paste (do not use too much paste, otherwise grease may
get on the clutch blocks).
