5. Connect the glow plug battery to the glow plug at this time.
6. Using the chicken stick, turn the propeller counterclockwise
through the
compression stroke of
the engine. If the engine
has fuel and a good glow
plug, you should feel a
pronounced bump
against this movement.
When you feel the
bump, give a quick flip
to the chicken stick
(counterclockwise) and
the engine should start.
If it doesn’t start, repeat
the procedure.
If you use an electric starter, be sure you pull the propeller through
a complete compression cycle by hand (without glow plug battery
attached) without feeling a heavy resistance to this action (a sign
the engine is flooded). Only then should you attempt to start the
engine with the electric starter. Failure to do so can result in dam-
age to your engine, which isn’t covered under warranty.
Allow the started engine to warm up for about 30 seconds at idle,
then advance it to full throttle. Turn the high-speed needle clock-
wise until you have the engine running in a slightly rich setting.
When the engine is running smoothly, disconnect the glow plug
battery. Allow the engine to run two full tanks of fuel at this slight-
ly rich setting.
