One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is:
"How do I start my new motor?"
Before starting your engine make sure:
- The starting area is clear and safe.
- Nobody is standing in front of or next to the prop.
- One or two helpers is holding your aircraft.
| 1) |
Turn on the ignition. |
| 2) |
Close the carburetor choke. |
| 3) |
Use a starting stick or heavy protective leather gloves.
Flip over the prop a few times until the carburetor gets fuel
and the engine pops and runs for a few seconds.
Hint: Using 1/2 or full throttle setting will assist in priming. |
| 4) |
Open the carburetor choke. |
| 5) |
Lower the throttle to near idle. |
| 6) |
Flip over the prop a few times until the engine starts. |
