Your First Run
Note: If this is your first gas car, we highly
recommend that you have an experienced
gas-car driver or local hobby dealer help
during the first startups and runs. He will be
able to properly adjust your engine for break-
in and then tune your engine for reliable
performance.
Before attempting to start your new buggy, be
sure to read the instruction manual that was
included with your engine. If your Mayhem™
came with an engine, carefully read the engine
instructions on the following pages. Pay particular
attention to the needle settings recommended for
starting and to the break-in procedures
suggested.
After Run Engine Maintenance
After you’re through racing for the day, it’s important to empty the fuel tank and run the remaining fuel
from the engine. Continue to try to start the engine for several seconds after it will no longer fire to
ensure that all fuel is out of the engine. Remove the air cleanier, then put several drops of after run oil
in the carburetor and turn the engine over on the starter box for several seconds to coat the internal
engine parts with after run oil.
Clean the air filter regularly, using warm soapy water then allowing it to air dry before applying air filter
oil. Keeping your air filter clean and oiled is vital to the life of your engine.
