Engine Lubrication The correct engine lubrication is achieved by adding engine oil to the gasoline in a 1:40 ratio which represents 2,5% of engine oil added. Liter Liter 0,025 0,05 0,075 0,125 0,15 US Galon Use 95-98 octane gasoline. The engine oil used should be high performance two stroke engine oil.
Valve Adjustment In order to achieve long lasting engine performance, the valve clearance needs to be checked and adjusted if necessary after 2-3 hours of operation. To check and adjust the valve clearance: remove the valve cover by unscrewing the mounting screws, moving the engine into its top dead center position ( the mark on the propeller carrier needs to be aligned with the parting plane on the upper side of the engine).
Warning! The bolts have to be sealed properly in order to avoid possible oil leak from the engine block! You can also use pipe thread compound. Connect the high voltage spark plug wires to the spark plugs and secure them with a 3mm screw that is between the ribs on the upper side of the cylinder head.
