Transport of the kart

If the carburetor is still filled with fuel, the transport of the kart is only allowed to be transported in a
horizontal position.
If the kart is to be transported in a vertical position, the fuel must be drained from the carburetor
first.
 Note: If the kart is in a vertical position at transport, the remaining fuel in the carburetor
might flow into the crankcase with the result that the engine won't start at next try.
 Remove drain screw (pos. 27, fig. 2) on float chamber of carburetor and collect the
fuel in a suitable container.
 Clean drain screw and refit.
