Section 5: Starting the Dynamite .15S Engine
Water-Cooled Engine
Because the Dynamite® .15S engine is water-
cooled and not aircooled, make sure that you do
not run the engine for an extended amount of
time outside of the water. Continuously monitor
the water outlet when the boat is running to
make sure that the water is reaching the engine
head. If the water does not reach the head to
cool it, the engine will overheat and fail. This
could cause permanent damage to the engine.
Pro Mix Carburetor
The Dynamite .15S engine comes equipped with
the Dynamite Pro Mix Carburetor. Each Pro
Mix Carburetor is pre-adjusted at the factory.
This setting should be approximately 3
1

11
2
⁄⁄ turns
open for the high-speed and 2
1
⁄
11
2
⁄⁄ turns open
for the low-speed needle. This should give you
a slightly “rich” mixture of fuel to the engine.
This setting is the safest way to break in your
engine. For further details regarding the Pro
Mix Carburetor, please consult Section 2 of
the Dynamite .15S instruction manual.
