Do not run the engine too lean and do not leave the

battery connected while adjusting needle.
When to replace the glowplug
Apart from when actually burned out, a plug may
need to be replaced because it no longer delivers its
best performance, such as when:
Filament surface has roughened and turned white.
¡
Filament coil has become distorted.
¡
Engine tends to cut out when idling.
¡
Starting qualities deteriorate.
¡
Foreign matter has adhered to filament or plug
¡
body has corroded.
TOOLS, ACCESSORIES, etc.
The following items are necessary for operating the
engine.
FUEL
Generally, it is suggested that the user selects a fuel
that is commercially available for model two-stroke
engines and contains between 10% and 30%
nitromethane. As a starting point, we recommend a
fuel containing 10% nitromethane, changing to a fuel
containing more nitro if necessary.
When the brand of fuel is changed, or the nitro
content increased, it is advisable to repeat the
running-in procedure referred to in the RUNNING-IN
paragraphs. For consistent performance and long
engine life, it is essential to use a good quality fuel
containing NOT LESS THAN 18% lubricant. Please
note that with high-nitro fuels, although power may be
increased for competition purposes, glowplug
elements do not last as long and engine life will be
shortened.
REMINDER!
Model engine fuel is poisonous. Do not
allow it to come into contact with the eyes
or mouth. Always store it in a clearly
marked container and out of the reach of
children.
Model engine fuel is also highly flammable.
Keep it away from open flame, excessive
heat, sources of sparks, or anything else
which might ignite it. Do not smoke or allow
anyone else to smoke, near to it.
