Starting Procedure

After all the wire connections have been correctly set up, you are ready to start your engine. Before
doing so, ensure the low and high speed mixture needles are adjusted to the factory recommendation
from your engine manufacturer. Then you will need to take out the spark plug first from the engine
(from easier pumping the gas up), and then close the choke on your carburetor and press the primer
bulb to pump the gas up from the tank. Once you see the gas flowing into the carburetor, install the
spark plug back to engine and press on the third channel switch on your transmitter for no more than
three seconds. If you then hear the engine starting to fire, open the choke and press the power switch
one more time – your engine should start.

When starting a warm engine, you don’t need to close the choke; just simply press on the power
switch for less than three seconds and the engine will start.

Note: If you feel your engine is flooded with gas, DO NOT try forcing the engine to start. Doing so
might cause damage to the gears or the electric motor when they try to work against the much
higher compression of a flooded engine. If the engine is flooded, remove the spark plug and turn on
the switch on the E-Starter. Let it run for 30 seconds to pump the extra gas out of engine, then put
the spark plug back and redo the starting procedure.

Performance Tips

#1: Never play the E-starter as fun by click starter on and off continually, because the peak
electric current from the battery to the motor is achieved in only first few seconds of operation.
That delivers the maximum torque and rpm of the motor. After these few seconds, the motor’s
power reduces slightly, as the compression from the engine is high, so, you only use the peak
LiPO power to start your engine, if you keep doing the "on" and "off" on the starter, it might
cause the electric motor overheated, and wearing on the gear by the reduced RPM. So, the best
way to use the starter is when you need to use it.

#2: If you feel your engine is flooded with gas, DO NOT try forcing the engine to start. Doing
so might cause damage to the gears or the electric motor when they try to work against the
much higher compression of a flooded engine. If the engine is flooded, remove the spark plug
and turn on the switch on the E-Starter. Let it run for 30 seconds to pump the extra gas out of
engine, then put the spark plug back and redo the starting procedure.

#3: The Electric motor on the E-starter V4 is High RPM custom made 560 series motor,
therefore, we only recommend to use 2S 7.4V up to 35c LIPO battery with Dean connection for
the gas engine below 30cc, to use 3S 11.1V LIPO battery only if the 7.4V is not create enough
RPM to start your engine. Because to use 3S 11.1V LIPO on a 26cc engine would cause the
RPM too high which is not good for the gears.

#4: Never suddenly stop your engine at high speed, this will definitely hurt the red soften
adaptor by the suddenly impact, as well as gears, we recommend install E-starter V4 starter kit
on a engine with clutch installed, when you ready to stop your engine, close the throttle gently
to engine idle speed, then, use the kill switch to shut off the engine.

#5: When start a cold engine, first take out the spark plug to pump the gas into the carburetor,
when start a warm engine which has been run, then, you can start it within spark plug installed.
