5.1 Fuel Tank Installation
The 3L teardrop fuel tank needs to be securely mounted and connected.
- Mount the fuel tank securely to the bicycle frame.
- Connect the fuel line from the tank to the fuel filter, and then from the fuel filter to the carburetor.
- Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- The fuel valve has an UP position for OFF and a DOWN position for ON. Always close the fuel valve when parking the bicycle.

5.2 Electrical Connections
Proper wiring is essential for engine operation. Refer to the diagram below for connections.
- Connect the blue wire from the engine to the blue wire of the CDI unit.
- Connect the black wire from the engine to the black wire of the CDI unit.
- The white wire from the magnetic coil does not need to be connected; it should be wrapped with electrical tape for insulation.
- Connect the kill switch wires as per the diagram.

5.3 Fuel Mixture
The 2-stroke engine requires a specific fuel-to-oil mixture. Use 90# (or higher) gasoline.
- Initial Break-in Period (First 500km): Mix fuel and 2-stroke engine oil at a ratio of 16:1 (16 parts gasoline to 1 part oil).
- After Break-in (Beyond 500km): Shift to a mixture ratio of 20:1 (20 parts gasoline to 1 part oil).
Note: Mix fuel and oil thoroughly before adding to the fuel tank.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Starting the Engine
The engine uses a foot pedal start mechanism.
- Ensure the fuel valve is in the ON (DOWN) position.
- Engage the clutch lever.
- Pedal the bicycle to gain some speed (approximately 5-10 mph).
- Release the clutch lever smoothly while continuing to pedal. The engine should engage and start.
- Once the engine starts, you can use the throttle to control speed.
6.2 Run-in Period
The first 500km of operation is crucial for the engine's longevity. During this period:
- Avoid prolonged high-speed operation.
- Do not operate at full throttle for extended periods.
- Vary engine RPMs to allow components to seat properly.
- Use the 16:1 fuel-to-oil mixture.
6.3 Performance Guidelines
For optimal performance and engine longevity, maintain a speed of 35-40 km/h (approximately 22-25 mph) on smooth roads. The maximum speed limit for this engine is approximately 50 km/h (31 mph).
Fuel consumption is approximately 2.5L per 100km under normal operating conditions.

- Check Fasteners: Periodically inspect all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness, especially after the initial break-in period. Apply thread locker where appropriate to prevent loosening due to vibration.
- Chain Maintenance: Keep the drive chain clean and properly tensioned. Lubricate the chain regularly.
- Spark Plug: Inspect the spark plug periodically for wear and proper gap. Replace if necessary.
- Fuel Filter: Check the fuel filter for clogs and replace if dirty.
