INFO

STARTING AND BREAK-IN
cC
Before starting the machine, perform the
checks in the pre-operation check list.
w
Never start or run the engine in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous;
they can cause loss of consciousness and
death in a very short time. Always operate
the machine in a well-ventilated area.
EC191001
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
1. Shift the transmission into neutral.
2. Turn the fuel cock to “ON” and full open the
starter knob (CHOKE).
3. With the throttle completely closed start the
engine by kicking the kick starter forcefully
with firm stroke.
4. Run the engine at idle or slightly higher until
it warms up: this usually takes about one or
two minutes.
5. The engine is warmed up when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter knob
(CHOKE) turned off.
cC
Do not warm up the engine for extended peri-
ods.
EC193001
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
Do not operate the starter knob (CHOKE). Open
the throttle slightly and start the engine by kick-
ing the kick starter forcefully with firm stroke.
cC
Observe the following break-in procedures
during initial operation to ensure optimum
performance and avoid engine damage.

INFO
EC194001
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
1. Before starting the engine, fill the fuel tank
with a break-in oil-fuel mixture as follows.
2. Perform the pre-operation checks on the
machine.
3. Start and warm up the engine. Check the
idle speed, and check the operation of the
controls and the “ENGINE STOP” button.
4. Operate the machine in the lower gears at
moderate throttle openings for five to eight
minutes. Stop and check the spark plug
condition; it will show a rich condition during
break-in.
5. Allow the engine to cool. Restart the engine
and operate the machine as in the step
above for five minutes. Then, very briefly
shift to the higher gears and check full-throt-
tle response. Stop and check the spark
plug.
6. After again allowing the engine to cool,
restart and run the machine for five more
minutes. Full throttle and the higher gears
may be used, but sustained full-throttle
operation should be avoided. Check the
spark plug condition.
7. Allow the engine to cool, remove the top
end, and inspect the piston and cylinder.
Remove any high spots on the piston with
#600 grit wet sandpaper. Clean all compo-
nents and carefully reassemble the top end.
8. Drain the break-in oil-fuel mixture from the
fuel tank and refill with the specified mix.
9. Restart the engine and check the operation
of the machine throughout its entire operat-
ing range. Stop and check the spark plug
condition. Restart the machine and operate
it for about 10 to 15 more minutes. The
machine will now be ready to race.

9After the break-in or before each race, you
must check the entire machine for loose fit-
tings and fasteners as per “TORQUE-
CHECK POINTS”.
Tighten all such fasteners as required.
9When any of the following parts have been
replaced, they must be broken in.
CYLINDER AND CRANKSHAFT:
About one hour of break-in operation is
necessary.
PISTON, RING AND GEARS:
These parts require about 30 minutes of
break-in operation at half-throttle or less.
Observe the condition of the engine careful-
ly during operation.

condition.
Before using this machine, check the following points.
EC321000
GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Item Routine Page
Coolant Check that coolant is filled up to the radiator filler cap.
Check the cooling system for leakage.P3-5~9
Fuel Check that a fresh mixture of oil and gasoline is filled in
the fuel tank. Check the fuel line for leakage.P1-12

Do not remove the radiator cap 1 1
, drain
bolt and hoses when the engine and radia-
tor are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam
may be blown out under pressure, which
could cause serious injury.
When the engine has cooled, place a thick
towel over the radiator cap, slowly rotate
the cap counterclockwise to the detent.
This procedure allows any residual pres-
sure to escape. When the hissing sound
has stopped, press down on the cap while
turning counterclockwise and remove it.
cC
Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine parts. You may use distilled water,
if you can’t get soft water.
1. Place the machine on a level place, and
hold it in an upright position.
2. Remove:
