Running-in
Running in procedure for Lynx engine
RECOMMENDED RUNNING-IN PROCEDURE
FOR THE PARILLA LYNX – FORMULA BLUE ENGINE
- Mix up 5 Litres of Super unleaded fuel with Castrol R 40 oil ( or a very similar Castor oil) at a ratio of 250 ml of oil to 5 L of Fuel. Shake vigorously to mix up well.
- Fill the Kart tank with the R40 fuel mixture and run- in on the circuit as follows using `rich` carburettor settings (see section 3 directly below):
- 3 minutes at 8,000 revs;
- 3 minutes at 10.000 revs;
- 3 minutes at 12.000 revs;
- 3 minutes at 14,000;
- 3 minutes at full revs but running `rich` on carburettor main jet setting. Thereafter, gradually bring the main jet setting into optimum position.
- The Recommended carburettor approximate settings:
- If you are running in your engine in cold weather conditions, ensure that from 12.000 revs onwards that the engine comes up to a minimum temperature of 50 degrees Centigrade. This can be achieved by adding / removing strips of tank tape on the face of the radiator ( facing the on coming air flow)
- Once run-in continue using the remainder of R40 mixed fuel, thereafter as required , mix Castrol 747 oil with fuel at a mix of 200ml of oil to 5 litres of fuel. There is no need to drain out any remaining R40 mix, just top up as required with the Castrol 747 fuel mix.
Lynx : | Slow running jet 1 & ¼ turns out. | Main jet 1 & ¼ to 1 & ½ turns out. | Lynx Maxi: | Slow running jet 1 & ¼ turns out. | Main jet 1 & 3/8 to 1 & 5/8 turns out. |
The carburetor setting is dependent upon weather conditions and restrictor size. |
