INSTALLATION The MINI 3 engine must be fitted to the frame using its six elastic supports "silent blocks", radially mounted: two placed on the head and four on the back of the engine. During the installation, some safety precautions must be made: remember that an engine generates vibrations, even if very few, which can cause the loosening and/or removal of screws or any other object.
The MINI 3 is equipped with a depression pump that draws fuel directly from the tank. The draft tube has to no longer than 80 cm.

The engine, before being sold, was subjected to a pre-running-in to verify the proper operation and a test that confirms all the features advertised. Once you require a MINI 3, you should pay particular attention to the first hour of operation, in order to ensure all the engine’s qualities over time.
MINI 3. Now the engine MINI 3 will be ready for use for which it was designed by continuing to use a percentage of oil by 3% for the next 10 hours. WARNING! DURING THE RUNNING-IN PHASE, KEEP PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE AND HEAD TEMPERATURE UNDER CONTINUOUS OBSERVATION.

We also inform you that high exhaust gas temperatures, in many cases, are a symptom of poor carburetion. While high temperatures under the spark plugs, usually, are due to poor ventilation (heat dissipation) of the engine, caused by the presence of bodies and / or materials that prevent the passage of air cooling. COMPONENTS AND TOOLS ON REQUEST To have the possibility to customize the engine and then adapt it to different needs and methods of use, SIMONINI offers a range of components on request:...
