Setup on the KME Diamond .60 Pro W/ KME Billet Carb
Customers that received a free carburetor to replace the OS carb: In the package there was a 2nd o-ring. This o-ring is used at the bottom of the carburetor housing and replaces the aluminum washer that comes stock with the OS carb. The o-ring will produce a better seal. (When installing the carb please push all the way down the carb should fit flush with the crank case. With pressure holding the carburetor down tighten the carburetor retainer)
When tightening the servo arm please be sure to use a thin 10mm open wrench on the slide and a 1/2 inch open wrench on the nut. This will ensure you don't scratch or mar the hard anodized finish on the slide.

Keep in mind this is a KME .60 size motor and it will smoke more than your .50 size engine.
The KME Engine is a different type of Engine and it will smoke more like a .90 size Engine.
The Diamond .60 Pro is burning more percentage of the fuel delivered to the head. Which will cause it to smoke more without using more fuel.
