STARTING THE ENGINE & RUNNING-IN ('Breaking-in')

For long life and high performance, every

engine needs to be 'run-in' or 'broken-in'. With
care, running-in of the MAX-18TM can be
carried out with the engine installed in the

vehicle. Be sure to install the air-cleaner on the
carburetor and use a muffler-pressurized fuel

system.

The somewhat violent changes of vehicle

attitude that occur in off-road running,

combined with the fact that, in buggy type
cars, the fuel tank is often located some

distance from the carburetor, means that fuel

'head' at the carburettor can vary and upset
running.Thereforejt is recommended that a

muffler pressurized fuel feed system be used.

Never run your vehicle without installing the

air cleaner. Dust and dirt that may otherwise

be drawn into the engine will rapidly shorten

its life.

Fill the tank completely with fuel.

Temporarily remove the glowplug to check
that it glows bright red when energized.

Element glows when energized.

Pliers

Replace the plug when the

element does not glow or is
burnt out.
