Installing Dust Caps
When  storing  the  engine,  install  the  cap  on 
the  exhaust  port,  carburetor,  etc.  to  prevent 
dust from entering the engine.

5. Finally,  when  cleaning  the  exterior  of  the 

engine,  use  only  methanol.  Do  not  use 
gasoline, kerosene or any solvent that might 
damage the silicone fuel tubing.

Caution: 
The  rear  crankshaft  bearing  of  this  engine 
uses  a  special  plastic  retainer.  If  the  front 
housing  needs  to  be  heated  to  remove  or 
replace  the  bearing,  do  not  allow  the 
bearing  to  exceed  120˚C  (248˚F),  otherwise 
it  may  be  damaged  and  rendered 
unserviceable.

Dirt and dust may lodge in        marked places.

CHECKING THE ENGINE

If  the  engine  suffers  a  loss  of  performance 
after a long period of running it may be due to 
the  wearing  of  parts.  It  is  suggested  that  the 
worn  parts  be  replaced  when  the  following 
symptoms are detected.

Engine sound changes and easily overheats.

Power has dropped considerably.

 Idle is unstable and/or engine tends to stop
 at idle.

In most cases, ball bearings, cylinder & piston 
assembly, connecting rod and/or crankcase have 
become  worn  out  or  abnormal.    Check  the 
parts carefully and replace them if necessary.
