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 between the tank and carburettor firmly so that no further fuel can get to the carburettor. A
hose clamp or similar is a great help here.
• 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 (turn the vehicle upside down if necessary).
• Insert the glow plug again.
• Loosen the closer of the fuel hose (e.g. remove the hose clamp again). Repeat the start-up process now.
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, the engine 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.
k) Attaching the Car Body
Put the car body onto the vehicle and secure it each with safety clips.
