Frequently Answers and Questions

How do I start the engine?

Open the fuel needle valve, crank the engine until you feel it on the compression stroke, press down on the choke valve, and give the crank a quick upward flip. Release the choke after the engine gets one charge and crank the engine using only a quick upward flip. If the engine doesn't start, repeat the process. Don't choke the engine too much, or you may flood it. As soon as the engine starts, adjust the needle valve.

How do I stop the engine?

Push in on the stop switch on the side of the magneto or shut off the fuel. When the engine has been pulling a heavy load, it is sometimes advisable to shut off the fuel rather than use the magneto switch, if the engine is to be started again in a short time.

How do I maintain the magneto?

The Wico Type "H" magneto requires very little care other than an occasional inspection of the breaker points. Keep the pad dry and oil after every 50 hours of operation. Use S.A.E. No. 50 oil. Also, pack with standard I.H.C. magneto grease after every 400 to 500 hours of operation.
