2–FUEL
Thor is a 2-stroke engine that needs oil/petrol mixture. Only use good
lead-free petrol (E5) purchased by a petrol station with at least 95
octanes. Add 100% good synthetic oil to the petrol at 2,5%.
Never keep the petrol into containers for a long time because its qua-
lity will be damaged. Only use certified metallic containers for petrol
carriage. Mix up the petrol with the oil ONLY when you are using it.
!
WARNING: The nature of the carbon deposits on the cylinder
head, spark plug and exhaust port give important information about
the fuel mixture burning in your engine. Remember that mixes that
contain too much oil do not extend the engine's life.
!
ATTENTION: petrol is extremely inflammable and explosive.
Carry out these operations in a well ventilate place and with the
engine switched off. Refrain from smoking and avoid all naked flames
or sparks where petrol is being drained or where re-fuelling is being
performed.
!
ATTENTION! For American customers only. The European range
of octane is different from the American one:
e.g. EU 95 (E5) OCTANE = US 91 OCTANE / EU 98 OCTANE = US 93
OCTANE
For THOR engines you must use a high-octane gasoline (not less than
US 91), 5% ethanol maximum.
!
ATTENTION! It is important to use 100 LL AVGAS only if you
cannot find the fuel abovementioned.
ENGLISH

3- ENGINE STARTING

Make sure that all the bolts and nuts are tightened properly, and the
fuel system works perfectly.
Start the engine only when all the parts are in good conditions and
perfectly working, and there are no persons, things or animals close
to it.
3.1-WB37 WALBRO CARBURETOR
First cold starting: fill in the fuel system using the proper pump (care-
fully follow the instructions provided by the frame's manufacturer to
find out it and use it in the correct way). To make this operation easier
softly push with a finger the diaphragm through the hole indicated by
the arrow in photo 1. Fill it in till the petrol reaches the carburetor. At
that moment immediately stop; if you go on acting on the pump the
petrol will leak causing the engine flooding.
At this point hold the starter and start stretching the rope until it
hardens. Then firmly pull by slightly accelerating until the engine
turns on.
3.2 Ø 28 BOWL CARBURETOR
Fill in the fuel system till the petrol reaches the carburetor hole and
then pump up three times (using the Polini manual bulb - Code
316.0016) to fill in the bowl. To start the engine pull upwards the
black level placed in the upper side of the carburetor.
Operate the starter without accelerating till the engine starts. Once
it runs switch it off, disconnect the starter and start the engine again
slightly accelerating. For your safety only start the engine after your
harness has been completely fixed!
3.3 THOR 200 HF ENGINE STARTING WITH ELECTRIC
STARTER
According to the carburetor model (Bowl or WB37 Walbro carburetor)
fill in the fuel system as indicated in paragraph 3.1 and 3.2
For the model with electric starter the Polini throttle system has 2
buttons on the bottom part of the throttle device. To start the engine
push both the buttons together and slightly accelerate. For your safety
only proceed with this operation if you are in safe conditions.
!
ATTENTION: keep the kill switch button in your hand during all
the stages and be ready to work it in case of any anomaly. If necessa-
ry, keep it pressed till the engine has completely stopped.
After starting the engine, we suggest testing the right functioning of
the kill switch button. After having checked it, start the engine again
without accelerating and without using the starter. Now start the
