ENGINE MOUNTING

This engine is designed to be mounted FLAT on
the kart. Because of the carburetor setup and
oiling system, we DO NOT recommend
mounting the engine with any degree of angle.
Oil is the lifeline of any engine and using
good quality oil is a must! We recommend
running no less than 18 ounces of SAE-
rated, synthetic 30-weight oil. It is
important that oil is changed and
motor oil,
monitored on a regular basis as dirt and
other contaminants such as fuel, etc. will
adversely affect the life of this engine.
NOTE: For your engine break-in
period use ONLY a high grade SAE-
rated non-synthetic 30 weight oil.
Use of synthetic oil during this

ENGINE BREAK-IN (RUNNING IN)
The first 30 minutes of this engine's life are
the most important to ensure trouble-free
racing. After mounting to the kart, we
recommend that the engine be broken in
using any high grade non-synthetic SAE-
rated 30 weight oil. Run the engine, no load,
at idle (800-1,200 rpm) to allow the engine
to reach normal operating temperature (5-8
minutes). Shut the engine off and allow to
return to room temperature.
Again start up the engine and bring up to
temperature (5-8 minutes). Shut off engine and
change the oil. Replace the oil (18-20 ounces)
and it is time to place 'load' on the engine. To
apply a load on the engine the easiest way to
CAUTION: It is important that during
break-in that the engine clutch remain
engaged. Clutch engagement begins at
4,300 RPM. Repeated locking and
unlocking of the clutch will lead to
excessive heat build-up in the clutch,
possibly leading to premature failure.
