RUN IN PROCEDURE
AIR CLEANER
unlike other kart engines , you will only run in your Torini race engine once in its enre racing life.
How you run it in could eect its performance for life, as the manufacturer our engineers recommendaon’s are listed
below.
• For the 1st 10-15 minutes drive moderately at varying speeds up to 3800rpm (half throle). It is crical to vary the RPM
for proper camsha, piston rings and moving component bed in.
• Stop and allow the engine to cool, check that there are no fuel or oil leaks.
• For the 2nd 10-15 minutes drive moderately at varying speeds up to 4800rpm (3/4 throle).
• Again stop and allow the engine to cool, during this period check the kart over ensuring that all fasteners are secure and
that the chain is correctly tensioned with sprockets aligned. (This is a good indicaon that the engine mount has not
moved)
• For the 3rd 10-15 minutes and thereaer drive at race pace or varying speeds up to WOT (Wide Open Throle) Failure to
correctly carry out this step, may inhibit proper piston ring bed in, resulng in poor ring seal, loss of potenal horsepower
and/or excessive blow-by. Along with your new engine, you have received 1lt of and you should have
used 500ml before starng your engine. Once you have completed the rst 3 x 15 mins runs we suggest changing this oil
and using the remaining 500ml of run in oil supplied. We then suggest you run the engine on track for a further 30-45
minutes at race pace, this will allow engine components to be fully bedded in.
Never use the Torini racing oil to run in your engine. The fricon modiers will prevent the bed in process from
occurring and you will never realise the full power potenal of the engine.
• Aer the rst 1-1.5 hours, your engine is now fully bedded-in, replace the run-in engine oil, with 500ml of the fricon
modied Torini Racing Oil. The oil contains enhanced fricon modiers and an-foaming agents blended specically
for your splash lubricated Torini race engine. The fricon modiers work with your piston coang to aide in both the
performance and life of your Torini race engine.
A dirty air lter will restrict air ow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance. If the engine is operated in dusty
areas, clean the air cleaner more oen than specied in the
Remove the foam lter from the main lter element.
Check both lter elements for signs of damage and replace as necessary.
Clean both the foam and main element in warm water with detergent or in
a nonammable or high ash point solvent and allow it to dry throughly.
Evenly apply lter oil to the main (fabric) lter element, as well as the foam
element, squeeze out as much excess oil as possible from the foam and
allow both lters to drain in a clean area overnight.
Place the foam air lter element over the fabric element, and reinstall the
assembled air lter ghten the hose clamp securely.
Keep the lters covered unl next use (lter oil is tacky so dirt and dust will
sck to it).
