Starting a Single Cylinder Engine with TS760-Marine

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 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, press on the third channel switch on
your transmitter for no more than 3 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 3 seconds and the engine will start.

Why only three seconds operation each time?

The peak electric current from the battery to the motor is achieved in those first few
seconds of operation. That delivers the maximum torque and rpm of the motor. After three
seconds, the motor’s power reduces slightly. Pausing after three seconds if the engine
hasn’t started means that, when you try again, you will once more have maximum power
for the starter system. If the engine is warm, you will only need one second of starter
operation to start the engine.

Starting a Twin Inline Engine with TS760-Marine

When starting a cold twin cylinder engine with the TS760-Marine, we recommend first
starting on one cylinder by removing the spark plug from the second cylinder. Let the
engine run for 30 seconds on the single cylinder to warm up, stop the engine and replace
the spark plug for the second cylinder, and then re-start the engine on both cylinders.

When starting a warm twin cylinder engine, you can start both cylinders at same time.

Trouble Shooting

If gas has been flowing into the engine yet it does not start, it might have flooded with
too much gas inside. If this happens, remove the spark plug and hold a rag over the spark
plug hole. Turn on the starter for 5 to10 seconds to pump out the extra gas from inside
the cylinder. Then re-install the spark plug and try again.
