STARTING THE ENGINE WITH CARBURETTOR PWK 28

If the fuel circuit is empty we will have to pump (fig 14) so that the gasoline rises reaching the carburetor inlet and therefore 
filling up the circuit. Pump 3 times to enter the correct amount of fuel in the carburetor (see manual POLINI THOR 200, 
CARBURETOR PWK).

1º)

 Check that the starter cable is not blocked and that the return spring works properly. 

Check that the NUT which holds the gas is NOT TIGHT and not locking the throttle lever.

2º)

 Pull STARTER (fig 15).

3º)

 Lock the propeller with the security TAPE system that the propeller covers INCLUDE (fig 12).

4º)

 Leave the accelerator supported as shown in the picture (fig 20), WITH THIS ENGINE WE DO NOT NEED TO ACCELERATE  

WHILE PULLING THE STARTER.

5º)

 Take the safety position as pictured (fig 21) (fig 22).

6º)

 Use a gentle progressive and firm tug (fig 23); a strong pull is unnecessary because the Polini Thor 200 starts easily.

7º) 

Once started take the throttle to have the engine under control at all times. Allow the engine to run slowly for a few seconds 

at idle and turn it off.

8º) 

Press the STARTER (Fig. 15) to be left in its initial position.

9º)

 Remove the safety tape and propeller covers (fig 12).

10º)

 Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 to restart the engine.

Check that the starter cable is not blocked and that the return spring 

works properly. Check that the NUT which holds the gas is NOT TIGHT and 
not locking the throttle lever.
