2- FUEL
Thor is a 2-stroke engine that needs oil/petrol mixture. Only use good
lead-free petrol purchased by a petrol station with 98 octanes. Add
good 2% synthetic oil to the petrol. It is possible to use a 1,5% oil
mixture with the following oils:
MOTUL 800-VALVOLINE RACING 2T FULL SYNTHETIC SAE 50 - BARDAL
KXT - ELF 976 – ELF 909
Never keep the petrol into containers for a long time because its quality
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 OCTANE =
US 91 OCTANE / EU 98 OCTANE = US 93 OCTANE
For THOR engines you have to use a high-octane gasoline (not less
than US 91)

3- ENGINE STARTING

Start the engine only when all the parts are in good conditions and
perfectly working, and there are no persons, things or animal close to
it. Furthermore check that all the nuts are well tightened nad check
the fuel system.
ENGLISH
3.1- FUEL SYSTEM FILLING
First cold starting: fill in the fuel system using the proper pump
(carefully 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.
3.2- THOR 190 EVO ENGINE STARTING
Fill in the fuel system as indicated in paragraph 3.1 Now handle the
starter and begin stretching the rope till it becomes rigid. Then pull it
with strength and decisively, slightly accelerating till the engine starts.
3.3- THOR 190 EVO ENGINE STARTING WITH ELECTRIC
STARTER
Fill in the fuel system as indicated in paragraph 3.1
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.
3.4- THOR 190 EVO CLUTCHED VERSION ENGINE
STARTING
Fill in the fuel system as indicated in paragraph 3.1. The clutched
version engine is equipped with flash starter too; it makes the starter
easier because it has a spring inside that self-charges by pulling the
rope and once released, the energy accumulated makes the engine
starts. To start the engine with the flash starter we advise you to pull
the rope softly and not too fast to avoid damaging the spring.
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
necessary 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. Now start the engine and let it idle until it warms
up to normal temperature
4- RUNNING IN
Run your engine in as instructed below to ensure that the engine and
transmission bed in correctly and to ensure continuous reliability in
future. Once the engine starts, leave it idling until it warms up to
normal temperature. We suggest running the engine 15 minutes at
medium-low engine power output gently accelerating and with
different intensity. Now we suggest checking the correct idling
calibration. During the first flights or for the first 20 litres of petrol
we suggest not keeping the engine at the maximum rpm for too much
time, considering that the 2-stroke engine doesn't stand to the
constant rpm even if of medium power. We suggest varying the
engine rpm. Check the carburetion after the first landing. Repeat the
running in every time you change one of the following parts: piston,
piston rings, cylinder, crankshaft or main bearings.
