• If the pull starter can only be actuated with a lot of force after several unsuccessful start attempts, too much fuel
has gotten into the combustion chamber and the crankcase. The engine was flooded. Refrain from further starting
attempts and remove the excess fuel in order to prevent damaging the cable pull starter and the engine.
Removing fuel when the motor has „drowned“
• Screw out the glow plug. Check it for glow function. A defective glow plug may cause the problem when starting.
• Compress the fuel hose firmly between tank and carburettor.
• Place a piece of cloth on the engine and pull the cable pull starter 5 - 6 times (3/4 of the length!). The fuel is pumped
out and evaporates.
• Insert the glow plug again.
• Repeat the start-up process.
Switching off the engine
In contrast to a „regular“ car, the combustion engine of the model car works without a fuel pump or electronic ignition.
Therefore, it must be shut down differently.
The engine of the model vehicle is shut down by interrupting the air supply to the carburettor. Cover the exhaust with
an engine stopper (alternatively a rag) or stop the flywheel of the engine at the bottom of the chassis while wearing
gloves.
The fuel supply must not be disconnected, or the engine may be supplied with too little fuel and thus too little lubrica-
tion. This causes damage to pistons and cylinders.
j) Put on Car Body, Fold Shut Over-Roller Bracket
Before proceeding in reverse order as described in chapter 8. a) and taking the vehicle into operation, check again:
• Is the air filter oiled correctly? If the air filter is strongly contaminated, first clean or replace it (oil it again properly
afterwards).
• Are (charged) batteries/rechargeable batteries inserted into the receiver box?
• Is the receiver aerial in the aerial tube, is the latter plugged into the holder at the side of the receiver box?
• Is the glow plug inserted and screwed on?
• Do the throttle/brake servo and the throttle/brake rods work correctly?
• Does the steering work correctly?
