INSTALLATION
The MINI EVO 2 engine have to be fitted to the frame using its four elastic supports
"silent blocks", radial mounted, positioned on the support, which are a protection
for the electronic ignition.
During the installation, some safety precautions have to be followed: remember
that an engine generates vibrations, even if very small, which can cause the
loosening and/or removal of screws or any other object. Therefore, to prevent any
engine components may cause damage to persons and/or properties, make sure the
engine through a small steel cable. Components normally "made safe" are:
• The filter and the carburetor to the engine
• The springs and exhaust to the engine
• The engine itself to the frame, bypassing the silent blocks. In this case we will use
the "webbing" of synthetic fiber is particularly resistant to traction and tearing.
The mouth of the spherical muffler should be lubricated with grease resistant to
high temperatures (e.g. copper grease) before being implanted in the exhaust
manifold.
We recommend taking maximum care when carrying out these operations: in any
case, during the assembly phase the proper choices must be made by expert and
qualified personnel.
FUEL
The MINI 2 EVO engine has been designed to operate with a gasoline/oil mixture.
We recommend using oil-based semi-synthetic (for example, BARDAHL with API TC
specification) that, although inferior to a pure synthetic, remains mixed with
gasoline in the tank for a longer period. It grants good lubrication and longer life to
engine components.
During the running-in stage, use an oil percentage of 3.5% and then move to 3%
once the stage has been completed.
