We are happy to see that you have decided on a GAS GAS EC ROOKIE moped and welcome you into the great family of GAS GAS users. Learn everything about your new machine. It contains a large amount of experience accumulated from many competitions where we have won important prizes. [. . . ] - Check the clutch-fluid level and the front- and rear-brake fluid level. This is one of the most crucial items for a proper engine performance, as it is within the carburettor that the petrol-air mixture is produced: a deficient carburetion process translates into a poor performance and may damage the thermal area of the engine. Consequently, it is advisable to have the carburettor adjustment checked, ideally by an Authorized GAS GAS Dealer. Efforts must be made to ensure that the carburettor internal components are clean and in good condition. For this purpose, periodically clean the carburettor and especially its jet by using an air jet or simply by blowing through it. Never use a wire to clean the carburettor, as this might alter the bore and affect the engine negatively. Yet another cause of carburettor malfunctioning may be a blocked fuel-intake filter. Remove the screw securing the intake adapter, clean the filter if it is dirty, and replace it carefully to avoid damaging its filtering cloth. -19- ENGINE Engine lubrication is carried out by means of the fuel, with the oil being supplied from a separate reservoir through a pump driven by the moped engine. AIR FILTER The adequate performance and durability of the various engine components (connecting rod, piston, piston rings, crank bearings, even the cylinder) depend to a great extent on the air filter being clean and properly lubricated. To access the filter, remove the cap on the filter-housing, which has been placed on the left-hand side of the moped. (B) (B). Air box situation. (A) Upon removal of the cap, check the condition of the filter housing, wash the filter if it is dirty, and then lubricate it. To lubricate the filter, apply a few drops of oil to soak the foam and press it with one hand without twisting it, then make sure to replace it correctly in its housing; otherwise, unfiltered air might reach the carburettor and cause serious damage to the moped. (A). SPARKING-PLUG CHECK WARNING Always clean the filter in an area that is properly ventilated and free from sparks or flames in the vicinity (this includes any powerful light sources). Do not use petrol to clean the filter, as this might cause an explosion. (C) (C). Spark plug removed from the valve cover. -20- The proper working of the engine depends on the good condition of the sparking plug; therefore, this is an extremely important component that can be easily inspected. Disassemble and check the sparking plug periodically. For instance, if the central-electrode porcelain insulation appears to be too white, this might be due to a leak in the carburettor air-intake tube, or to carburettor damage or malfunction. The high temperatures the electrode is subjected to, together with carbon deposits, result in excessive wear and eventually render it useless. When this stage is reached, replace the sparking plug with a new one of the same type and recommended thermal grade (NGK BR 8 ES), or any other brand of a similar thermal grade. Carburettors must always be checked by an authorized GAS GAS dealer. (D) The only precaution to bear in mind is that of ensuring that it is completely full of liquid, since, in this way, the water is guaranteed to complete the whole circuit. The use of closed circuit antifreeze liquid is strongly recommended. In this way the you avoid the freezing of the water with the attendant risks engine seizures or breakages of the pump blades. STRIP BOX ~ 0, 6 _ 0, 7 mm In order to enhance its performance, this engine has been fitted with strip admission. Because of their fragility, the strips must not be tampered with, either by opening or by folding them, as this would result in engine malfunction and in the invalidation of the dealer's guarantee. Remove the dirt on the thread and clean the gasket seating, in order to prevent any foreign matter from entering the combustion chamber. Sparking-plug replacement requires checking to see that the electrode gap remains between 0. 6 and 0. 7 mm. RADIATOR (D) The radiator, which reduces the temperature of the engine-cooling water, has been secured with silent blocks under the petrol tank. -21- Strip box. CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT Clutch adjustment may be carried out by means of the tightening device supplied with the handle.
