    18 x 8 ~ 20 x 10 Introduction Thank you for choosing a Magnum gasoline aircraft engine. The 46cc is a single cylinder, two-cycle gasoline engine incorporating an easy-to-adjust Walbro carburetor with pump, mechanical spark advance ignition system and a high-quality, dual-ring piston for exceptional power and ease of use.
  • Page 2: Engine Installation

    This Magnum model airplane engine is not a toy. It is a precision built machine whose power is capable of causing serious injury to yourself and others if abused, misused or if you fail to observe proper safety precautions while using it.
  • Page 3 Ignition System Installation The ignition module should be mounted to your model’s firewall, as far away from your airborne radio equipment as possible, and protected from excessive heat. We recommend securing it into place using double-sided tape or silicone glue. The ignition system includes a kill switch which should be mounted in a convenient location on the outside of the model.
  • Page 4 Propeller Recommendation The diameter and pitch of the propeller needed for the 46cc gasoline engine will vary greatly depending on the application the engine is used in. The weight, drag and the type of model and how you intend to fly it are all factors in determining the correct size propeller to use.
  • Page 5: Starting Procedure

    Starting Procedure The starting procedure for the 46cc gasoline engine is actually quite simple. For ease of starting we recommend using a high-torque electric starter with a quality 1 2V motorcycle battery or a car battery. The engine can be started by hand, but only using a chicken stick.
  • Page 6: Running The Engine

    IMPORTANT Your 46cc gasoline engine does not require it be run on a test stand and be broken in. It is flight ready. Be aware though that when the engine is new, it won't produce the rpm and power that an engine that's been running a while will.
  • Page 7: Warranty & Service

    Rotate the crankshaft several times to distribute the oil, then reinstall the spark plug. Warranty service Your Magnum engine is guaranteed to be free of defects in parts and workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase. The manufacturer’s guarantee covers failures of the engines due to materials, workmanship or production defects.
