STARTING THE ENGINE
5
Starting The Engine
1. Make sure the glow plugs are
installed and tightened.
2. Be sure the propeller is properly
secured. The use of a “jam nut” is
encouraged on 4-cycle engines.
3. Make sure the fuel tank
line(s) are properly connected. The
main line should be connected to the
carburetor spray bar (84).
NOTE: If your Saito engine is
equipped with dual carburetors it’s
imperative that the fuel lines are
identical in length from the Y-fitting
to the fuel inlets.
Connect the fuel tank lines as shown in
Figures 1, 2 and 3.
The proper “plumbing” of the lines
is extremely important to the
performance of any engine.
