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 95 octanes. Add good
2,5% synthetic oil to the petrol.
Never keep the petrol into containers for a long time because its quality
will be damaged. Only use certified metallic containers for petrol carria-
ge. 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.
! WARNING! petrol is extremely inflammable and explosive. Car-
ry 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), max 5% ethanol.
! WARNING! It is important to use 100ll Av GAS fuel is the above
mentioned petrol is not available.
IMMERSION FUEL FILTER
The Polini immersion fuel filter has been designed to solve the problems
related to the impurities present in the fuels and it avoids the passage
from the tank to the carburetor.
It grants high filtering standards thanks the 70 sq cm filtering surface
and it lets a punctual and proper fuel flow towards the carburetor, thus
avoiding lean carburetion that may drive to faulty or malfunctions. It
has a 30gr brass connection that stays on the bottom of the tank so as
to exploit all the fuel inside it.
! CAUTION: periodically check (see the maintenance schedule) the
good condition of the immersion filter and, if necessary, change it.
The lack of the fuel filter or the presence of a worn filter jeopardize the
correct engine working and the warranty is not valid.

king and check that there aren’t persons, things or animals around.
