has a slight taper. The piston
and cylinder are designed to
achieve a perfect running
clearance when they reach
operating temperature.

NOTES WHEN APPLYING
AN ELECTRIC STARTER
Do not over-prime. This could
cause a hydraulic lock and damage
the engine on application of the
electric starter.
If over-primed, remove glowplug,
close needle-valve and apply
starter to pump out surplus fuel.
Cover the head with a rag to
prevent pumped out fuel getting
into your eyes.
As delivered, the engine has the
carburetor lightly fit into its intake.
Secure it changing its angle
according to the car chassis.
