Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is an external battery needed to run the EFI?
No. The 25MH features a "battery-free" EFI system that generates its own power for the injectors and sensors during the first pull of the manual recoil.
2. Does it include a fuel tank?
Yes. This unit comes standard with a 6.6-gallon (25L) external fuel tank and a high-quality fuel line with quick-connect fittings.
