STARTING

The FS  -155-P is not equipped with manual 
choke  controls,  as  it  is  intended  for  use 
with an electric starter only.
A  high-torque  electric  starter  not  only 
makes  starting  the  engine  easier,  it 
dispenses  with  the  need  for  a  choke  valve 
by  turning  the  engine  over  fast  enough  to 
draw fuel to the cylinder automatically.
Starting procedure is as follows:

Fill  the  fuel  tank  with  fuel.  When  filled, 
prevent fuel flowing into the carburetor with 
a  commercially  available  fuel  stopper,  etc.   
Release  the  stopper  before  starting  the 
engine.

Glow Plug Igniter

Pliers

Element glows when energized.

Replace the plug when the 
element does not glow or is 
burnt out. 

WARNING!
When  checking  the  plug  element  hold  the 
plug with tools, such as pliers, etc.
Do  not  hold  near  your  face  or  the  fuel 
remaining in the filament may burn you.

Make sure that the plug element glows red, 
and install the plug in the cylinder head.

NOTE

Check  that  the  current  to  the  glowplug  is 
switched off.

To  close  the  needle-valve,  turn  it  clockwise, 
while  to  open  the  needle-valve,  turn  it 
counter-clockwise.  Turn  the  needle-valve 
clockwise  slowly  until  it  stops.    This  is  the 
fully closed position.

3.

Open  the  needle-valve  2.5-3  turns  from  the 
fully closed position and set the throttle in the 
fully open position.

4.

Apply the starter and press the starter switch 
for  5-6  seconds,  or  until  fuel  is  seen  to 
emerge from the exhaust outlet, indicating 
that the cylinder is now primed.

Energize the glowplug and apply the starter. 
If  the  starter  fails  to  rotate  the  engine 
completely,  this  may  be  due  to  the  cylinder 
being  over-primed,  or  to    the  starter  battery 
being insufficiently charged.

Turn  the  prop  “backwards”  (clockwise)  by 
hand until it is against compression.  This is 
to  enable  the  kinetic  energy  of  the  prop  to 
subsequently  assist  the  starter  through  the 
compression stroke to start the engine.
