BEFORE THE USE
PACKAGING
Your engine will arrive in a box marked with the Comer model
type and serial number on the outside. Inside will be the engine
complete with carburetor, air filter, muffler and clutch. For models
using the Veyvey muffler, only the exhaust header is included. The Veyvey
muffler is packed separately.
ENGINE MOUNTING/CHASSIS ASSEMBLY
Please these read instructions carefully before beginning to mount engine on
chassis.
-Unpack the engine. Remove any
packaging material remaining on
the engine. Place the engine on its
side on a clean, flat surface. Clean
surfaces of the engine base and
mounting plate. Attach the plate
to the engine base with four 8 mm
Allen screws using a 6mm Allen
key.
See Figure 1.
-Rest the engine, with mount, on the
chassis. Tighten the engine mount
clamps enough to hold the engine
in position. Do not tighten com-
pletely.
See Figure 2.

-Align the axle sprocket with the
engine sprocket. Install chain of
proper length (length varies with
type of kart and gear size).
See
Figure 3.
-To adjust chain tension, move the engine ahead until
the proper tension is reached. Proper tension allows
1 cm. of movement. Tighten mount clamps completely.
Re-check chain tension.
See Figure 4.
-Place the outer throttle cable housing into the proper
fitting on the engine.
See Figure 5.
-Insert the throttle cable into the throttle lever of the
carburetor. Pass the cable through the spring and
spacer. Then run the cable through the throttle cable
housing.
See Figure 6.

-Pull the cable through until it stops at the
throttle lever of the carburetor.
See Figure 7.
-Pass the free end of the throttle cable to the throttle
stop near throttle pedal. Make sure that there is a
clamp installed on the throttle cable.
-Pass the cable through the welded
ring on the throttle pedal. Then loop
it around and attach it to the throttle
clamp by running it through the hole
in the clamp.
See Figure 8.
-Adjust the throttle cable by using
throttle clamp and the pedal stop
on the chassis so that the pedal stops
at the point where the throttle is fully
open. Do not stress the throttle lever.
-Insert the fuel line into the top cap of the carburetor.
-Remove the plastic cap from the spark plug hole. Lightly oil the spark plug
threads. Finger-tighten the spark plug in the hole.
-Next tighten and loosen the plug two or three times to allow the gasket
on the plug to seat. Then tighten the plug securely. Then cover the
spark plug with the spark plug cap.
For engines with a Veyvey muffler, the following additional steps
are required:
-Install the header pipe into the engine with two studs
or Allen screws. In some models, the header pipe
has already been installed.
-Insert the flex into the header pipe. Then
insert the muffler on the other end of the
flex. Place the muffler in the exhaust
cradle that is assembled on the
chassis.

-Fasten the muffler and header pipe
using two or three springs (the
number of springs needed depends
on the model). Use a spring tool
to insert one end of a spring in one
hole of the exhaust flange. Using
the spring tool, pull the other end
of the spring through one of the
hole on the exhaust flange on the
muffler.
See Figure 9.
-Repeat this process with the remaining spring(s).
-Use a spring tool to fasten the
muffler on the cradle assembly with
the two springs provided.
See Figure 10.
Important/Caution:
To prevent injury, protect your hands and
eyes with appropriate gloves and safety
glasses when installing the muffler.

STARTING AND BREAK-IN
GENERAL INFORMATION:
-We're sure you are excited about getting your kart out on the
track. But we would like to remind you that only a proper break-
in will insure the best performance of your engine in the future and
guarantee its long and trouble-free operation.
-Break-in is required when an engine is new or has undergone a major service
of the engine's main parts (pistons, rings, cylinder or crankshaft). Not all Comer
engines required the same break-in time. There is a tag on the engine next to
the spark plug cap that will provide break-in times for your engine.
Fuel Preparation:
-Prepare fuel by mixing one U.S. gallon of gasoline with 7 ounces of oil. The Comer
engines use unleaded commercial gasoline (pump gas). Shake the can thoroughly
to mix the fuel. Then fill the gas tank.
Important/Caution:
-Follow these rules to prevent personal injury. Gasoline is flammable and explosive. When
working with fuel, never smoke or use it near fire. Work in a well-ventilated area or outside.
Do not inhale gas vapors and avoid contact with your skin.
-Follow these rules to prevent damage to your engine. Be precise in the oil to gas ratio
when mixing fuel. A mistake in measurements could result in engine failure.
Carburetor Adjustment:
-For the initial start, set both low-speed and high-speed jets on the
carburetor at one turn out.
Starting the Engine:
-The starter has an inertial type cord assembly that
retracts automatically. To start the engine, follow these
steps:
-Turn the "ON/OFF" switch, which is located on the
engine cover, to the "ON" position.
-Pull firmly on the starter handle. At the same
time, close the choke lever on the carburetor.
See Figure 11.
11
-When the engine starts, release the
choke lever. Run the engine and accelerate inter-
mittently to higher RPMs. Do not accelerate to full throttle.
-After a few minutes of warm up, proceed onto the track. Run
the engine by alternating a few seconds on the throttle and off the
throttle. Continue this way for 5-6 laps.
-Increase the duration and extent of acceleration for another 15-20 minutes.
-Continue for the time indicated on the run-in table attached to the spark plug
wire. Intermittently open the accelerator completely for a few seconds and then
release it.
Important/Caution:
Do not initiate the break-in on a chassis stand. Do
not hold the throttle at a constant speed.
