ENGINE STARTING & BREAK-IN
1.
Do not touch the carburetor adjustment screw.
2.
Place the chassis on the stand.
3. Fill the fuel tank.
4. Cover the muffler exit with fingers and pull recoil starter
5-6 times to send the fuel into the carburetor.
5.
Connect a booster cord or a one-touch plug heater to the
5
glow plug so it glows red, and then pull the
starter quickly and continuously.
*
If the engine doesn't start easily, move the TH servo
by hand to open the carburetor a little.
CAUTION: Please note that the rope might cut if the
recoil starter is fully pulled (30cm or more).
If the engine doesn't start even after the recoil starter has
6.
been pulled about 10 times, repeat from step 4.
7. After starting the engine, run two full tanks of fuel through
the engine while model is mounted on a stand, switching
the transmitter and receiver power ON-OFF in that order.
8. Fill the tank a third time.

9. Tighten the
needle valve 1/2 turn.
4
Loosen the
throttle stop screw 1/4 turn.
10.
Start the engine again and remove model from stand to run.
11. Tighten the needle valve 30 degrees after each tank of fuel.
CAUTION: For harder running, a leaner adjustment
3
of the
Needle Valve is required. While
measuring the temperature of the engine
head, ensure it doesn't reach more than
140 degrees Celsius.
12. If you do not have a way to measure the engine's
temperature, take care not to over-tighten the
Needle Valve so the engine doesn't overheat.
Normal setting of the Needle Valve is about 2 turns
back from its fully closed position. Please take care
as tightening the Needle Valve past this point may
damage the engine.
CAUTION: Perform all engine adjustments while
running the model on the ground.
Engine RPM can increase too much with no
load on the wheels and damage the engine.
