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.Therefore,it 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.

Silicone tubing

Connect suitable length
of Silicone tubing between
fuel tank and silencer.

Before starting the engine, always

check the tightness of all the screws
and nuts especially those of joint and

movable parts such as throttle arm.

Missing retightening the loose

screws and nuts often causes the

parts breakage that is capable of
harming you.
