- In flight:
One very valuable feature of the “KOMPRESS” series is its ability to be started while in flight.
This feature allows the pilot the freedom to turn-off the engine and glide silently, to enjoy the
exhilaration of thermal soaring, and then when he gets low, re-start the engine pulling the START
rope and climb back up to do it again.
Starting the engine
Now that we’ve covered stopping the motor, let’s start the engine!
Check that the fuel tube is full. If it isn't, use the designated fuel pump to fill it up.
Be careful to not pump more than necessary to avoid engine flooding.
To start the cold engine it's necessary to inject fuel into the cylinder, to do this, squeeze the
pump only once while holding the accelerator completely open until you hear the fuel squirt
from the carburetor into the cylinder.
Tank vent cock
OPEN the fuel tank vent cock in the position “OPEN”
Make sure the tube is filled with mixture of power and no air bubbles
If not, squeeze the fuel pump gently until the tube is full.
Do not use more than necessary to avoid flooding and / or fuel
spillage.
To start a cold engine is necessary to inject a few of fuel into the cylinder.
Spring of the diaphragm on the carburetor.
For to do this, push the spring button for to fuel primer before start the engine.
Allow a certain quantity of fuel to enter the carburetor but not enough to allow it to go out of the
air filter, if this happens, this means that the engine could be flooded and will hesitate to start .
Thus allowing a certain amount of mixture entering the carburetor but not too much to escape the air
filter.
If this happens it means that the engine is flooded and may find it hard to start
The best starting a cold engine is achieved with a little accelerator. When the engine is running, wait
about one minute to warm up and allow the pump to fill the carburetor completely.
When the engine is cold always accelerate very gently, then when the engine is hot the gasoline circuit
will remain under pressure and no longer necessary to operate the valve of the carburetor
