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 way
from the carburetor, means that fuel ‘head’ at
the carburetor can vary and upset running.
Therefore, it is recommended that a muffler
pressurized fuel feed system be used.
Fuel Tank
Silencer
Silicone tubing
Connect suitable length of
Silicone tubing between fuel
tank and silencer.
Fuel Pump
Fuel Tank
Fill the tank completely with fuel.
When starting the engine, lay the chassis
on a stand so that tiers may not be in
contact with the ground.
STARTING THE ENGINE & RUNNING-IN ('Breaking-in')
In the interests of a long working life and high
performance, every internal-combustion engine
need to be “run-in” (or “breaking-in” as the
procedure is also known), while the engine is
installed in the car and run the car.

Set the throttle-stop screw so that the
minimum throttle opening (idle setting) is
approximately 2mm.
Switch on the transmitter, followed by the

the throttle trim lever to the idle setting.
NOTE
When checking the glowplug while en-
ergizing it, do not hold it by fingers but
use pliers. Do not come your face
close to the glowplug or get burned
with boiled fuel remaining in the coil.
