Maintenance

The Titan ZG 45PCI-HV requires almost no servicing. If your engine is difficult to start

after the hibernation, suck fresh petrol into the carb to loosen the thick oil left after the

petrol has evaporated, and let this stand for a few days and you will find the engine

will run again without any adjustment of the needle valves.

Never use compressed air to clean the carburettor. Never remove the fine stainless steel

gauze filter in the carburettor for any reason. When you have followed our advice and

fitted a cotton felt clunk filter, there will never be any dirt in the carburettor, but there

may well be fine cotton fibres over the small gauze filter (this is the sole reason for this

filter). You can remove these fibres carefully with a toothpick, or tweezers.

If you wish to check the screws on the engine for tightness, please use the following

table showing torque settings. Especially critical are the four cylinder retaining screws.

These must never be really „pulled down", otherwise the cylinder gasket, which is fairly

thick, will squash at the corners of the cylinder flange, causing the flange corners to

bend down and resulting in distortion of the cylinder. Cylinders so over tightened will

be difficult to turn through BDC when hot and will not be able to run at a low tickover

and will have considerably less power. This easily can happen with owners who having

just purchased a brand new engine and having nothing better to do than to really pull

down all the screws, the cylinder will then be useless scrap metal. If you do not have

a feel for tightening down screws or do not posses a torque wrench, then it is better

and cheaper, you leave them well alone.
