O.S. Engines FS-40S-CX - Manual (Page 16)

It is vitally important to set
the throttle at the correct
position before attempting
to start the engine. If the
engine is allowed to run
with the throttle too far
open under "no load"
conditions, it will rapidly overheat and may be
seriously damaged.
Remember!
Now, refuel and re-start the engine, opening
the throttle just sufficiently to engage the
centrifugal clutch and allow the car to run on
the track without stalling and still with the
needle-valve set rich to promote cool
running. ●
Four stroke engine have stronger
compression than two stroke engines.
Hold the chassis firmly when pulling the
recoil starter. Also, wearing of gloves is
recommended to avoid any risk of injury.
Note!
