Race the engine with theclutch in NEUTRAL, accelerate from the lowspeed position to the high speed positionand repeat this process about five times.This is done to clean out carbon from thecylinders and the fuel injection valves.NOTICE: Neglecting to race the enginewill result in poor exhaust color andreduce engine performance.Periodically operate the engine nearmaximum speed while under way.
