Introduction, Basic Engine Parts - O.S. engine MAX-32SX-MX Owner's Instruction Manual

The O.S. MAX-32SX-MX is a high-perfor-
mance water-cooled marine engine for small
radio-controlled boats, especially scale and
sport type hulls. The MAX-32SX-MX incor-
porates a recoil starter system which pro-
vides easy, positive starting, while eliminat-
ing the need for an electric starter and star-
ter-battery.
NOTE
With this engine, the piston will feel tight
•
at the top of its stroke when the engine is
cold.
This is normal. The piston and cylinder
•
are designed to achieve a perfect running
clearance when they reach their normal
running temperatures. We do not
recommend running your boat on the sea,
or in any other saltwater environment.
Under such conditions, it is difficult to
prevent the engine from becoming
corroded and, eventually, inoperative.
