TX STARFLAME ENGINE (Con't.)
5. Engines should be checked over weekly. This in-
cludes: check all nuts and bolts, pull exhaust pipes and check
the piston rings for tension and the piston for possible seizure.
6. Piston rings - Every four to five weeks or every 2Y:!
to 3 hours, we suggest that you install new piston rings. Do not
hone the 1973 Starflame cylinders, as you will damage the
chrome liner. A break-in period of 10-15 minutes should be
followed as per item no. 1 after re-ringing.
7. Engine overhaul - The TX Starfire engines are very
simple to dismantle and reassemble. The only special tools that
are necessary are:
A. Piston pin puller- Part No. 2870202
B. Clutch puller- Part No. 2870130
C. Flywheel puller- Part No. 2870159
D. Pocket knife
