• Once the motor is running, let go of the cable starter and remove the glow plug starter from the glow plug.
Only leave the glow-plug starter connected briefly for starting. Otherwise, the glow plug may burn through prematurely.
• If the pull starter can only be actuated with a lot of force after several unsuccessful start attempts, too much fuel got
into the combustion chamber and the crankcase. The engine was flooded.
Refrain from further start attempts and remove the excess fuel in order to prevent damaging the cable pull starter
and the engine.
Removing fuel when the motor has „drowned“
• Screw out the glow plug. Check it for glow function. A defective glow plug may cause the problem when starting.
• Compress the fuel hose firmly between tank and carburettor.
• Place a piece of cloth on the engine and pull the cable pull starter 5 - 6 times (3/4 of the length!). The fuel is pumped
out and evaporates.
• Insert the glow plug again.
• Repeat the start-up process.
Switching off the engine
In contrast to a „regular“ car, the combustion engine of the model car works without a fuel pump or electronic ignition.
Therefore, it must be shut down differently as well.
The engine of the model vehicle is shut down by interrupting the air supply to the carburettor. Cover the exhaust with
an engine stopper (alternatively a rag) or stop the flywheel of the engine at the bottom of the chassis while wearing
gloves.
The fuel supply must not be disconnected, or the engine may be supplied with too little fuel and thus too little lubrication.
This causes damage to pistons and cylinders.
k) Attaching the Car Body
Put the car body onto the vehicle and secure it each with safety clips. Proceed accordingly with the rear spoiler.
