• Choose a wide clear outdoor location with low dirt and dust.
• Set the car on box or holder with wheels off the ground.
• Turn on radio and car. Make sure throttle is at idle position.
• Fill fuel tank and set master engine needle.
• Prime fuel line and Heat glow plug before pull starting engine.
• When started, let engine fast idle for two tanks of fuel.

Close master needle by turning clockwise until it stops.
Then open needle by turning counterclockwise 3 turns
(rich setting).

When running car, adjust carb with 1/8 clockwise turns,
slowly leaner, until the top speed good. Check engine
temp, if possible, for no more 250 degrees.

Adjust barrel stop so it will not close, accept for a small gap.
This gap will be the idle setting. You will notice the idle will
increase with a wide gap.

Adjust low end needle for best throttle response. Use only
small turns. From idle, give it full throttle, if throttle is slow
lean out needle until good.
