•The engine is lubricated by oil mixed into gasoline. Prepare a mixture of unleaded,
Recommended mixing ratio is 32 : 1.
•Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum octane number of 90 ROZ(USA/Canada : pump octane min.87)
•Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the contamination of the air for the sake of your health and the environment.
•Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.
•Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental engine parameters and components (eq., carburetion, ignition timing and port timing) without addition of any major hardware or the introduc- tion of an inert material during combus- tion.
