Final Adjustment - O.S. engine MAX-12TG-P Instruction Manual

Next, disconnect the glowplug battery and try
running the car on the track. If the engine stalls,
open the throttle fractionally, but try to keep the
engine running as rich as possible: if it stops
because of being excessively over-rich, close the
Needle-Valve 15˚ and try again.
Run the car on the track until one tank of fuel has been
consumed, then close the Needle-Valve 15˚ and run
the car for 3 to 5 full tanks of fuel. Repeat this
procedure until approx. 1 liter of fuel have been
consumed, during which time the throttle may be
opened for brief bursts of increased power. If the
engine stops at medium speeds, close the Mixture
Screw 45˚.
