Section 8: Starting The Engine; Section 9: Stopping The Engine - Pro Boat Owner's Manual

Section 8:
Starting the Engine
Fill the tank with 2-cycle fuel and firmly
tighten the fuel cap.
Note: The Zenoah G26M carburetor
is factory adjusted to deliver optimum
performance. See the Zenoah Engine
manual for fine-tuning adjustments and
other helpful information to make your RC
boating experience trouble-free.
Priming the Engine
Press the priming bulb several times until it
becomes filled with fuel. This is not necessary
if the engine has recently been run.
Choking the Engine
Close the choke by rotating the small yellow
tubing extension. This is not necessary if the
engine has recently been operated.
Pull-starting the Engine
With an assistant holding the boat to the boat
stand and bracing the engine with one hand,
pull the starting cord briskly several times.
Once the engine fires (begins to start),
partially open the choke. Prolonged choking
will flood the engine with fuel until the engine
warms up. See Section 12: Troubleshooting
Guide to correct the flooding condition. It
may be necessary to trim the throttle open
slightly during initial starting. Once the
engine is warmed up (10-20 seconds)
open the choke completely.
Note: Do not allow the boat to run out of
the water for an extended period of time
or engine overheating will occur.
Section 9:
Stopping the Engine
Idle the boat near shore and press the kill
switch located on the hull as shown.
