wishes and we will send you a pro-forma invoice with eventual costs.
1) When you have started the engine let it run stationary(low RPM) for at least
75 ccm of fuel, the stationair must be regular, if the RPM goes down every time,
you must close the secondairy needle(1/4 turn at a time), if the RPM goes up
open the secondairy needle.
2) After the engine has run stationairy for 75cc(let the engine cool down before
restarting it) you must open the main-needle for at least 1 turn more than as it
was set originally, now you must run the engine on the track so it will be cooled.
Before you open the throttle totally, be sure the engine does not take too much
RPM(the engine must be turning like a four-stroke engine and you must see fuel
coming out of the pipe), when the engine makes to much RPM, close the throttle
immediately and open the main needle 1 more turn, this untill the engine does
not go too high on RPM, run the engine like this for at least 225ccccm.
3) After you can close the main needle so the engine makes more RPM but still
makes a four-stroke sound and smokes a lot, this for at least another 225ccm.
