A. Manual Starting:
Note: Use a thick glove to protect your hand while hand-starting the SPE-26cc Engine.
1. The propeller should be installed on the prop spacer so that it is comfortable for you to flip it through
compression. You also need to position it in a way that when you flip the propeller; the magnets are 20°
clockwise from the magnet pick up.
2. Have someone help you hold the airplane while you start the engine.
3. Make sure the ignition is OFF, close the choke on the carburetor and open the throttle slightly from the idle
position.
4. Rotate the propeller slowly about 10 to 20 times (more in winter) until fuel begins to be drawn into the
carburetor. Another way to prime the engine is to rotate the prop clockwise from bottom dead center to top
dead center (compression) and then counterclockwise back to bottom dead center repeatedly.
5. Switch the ignition to ON.
6. Flip the propeller clockwise several times briskly.
7. After you hear some initial firing sounds, move the choke lever to the OPEN position.
8. Set the throttle to a high idle. Set the prop so that the magnets are 20° clockwise from the magnet pick up
when viewed from the front.
9. Flip the prop through compression rapidly. If this is done properly, the engine will start between the first and
the eighth flip of the prop. During our testing, starting took an average of 3-4 flips.
10. After starting, let the engine idle for two to three minutes. Open and close the throttle slowly until the engine
runs smoothly at idle and at full throttle. Acceleration should also be smooth.
11. If your engine does not start, repeat the procedure.

B. Electric Starter Starting:
1. Make sure you use a good quality, lightweight aluminum spinner.
2. Have someone help you hold the airplane while you start it.
3. Make sure the ignition is OFF, close the choke plate on the carburetor and open the throttle slightly from
the idle position.
4. Use your electric starter to turn the engine over for several seconds.
5. Switch the ignition to ON and open the choke.
6. Set the throttle to high idle and use your electric starter to turn over the engine until it starts.
7. After starting, let the engine idle for two to three minutes. Open and close the throttle slowly until the
engine runs smoothly at idle and at full throttle. Acceleration should also be smooth.
8. If your engine does not start, repeat the procedure.
