Section 21: Starting and Adjusting the Evolution Engine

Fuel
The Evolution Engine comes adjusted from the factory.
We recommend using high quality Cool Power Omega,
Hangar 9® AeroBlend™ or Power Master fuels containing
10 to 15% Nitro. The Evolution Engine has been test
run using these fuels. If another brand of fuel is used, it
may be necessary to slightly adjust the needle valves to
compensate for the differences in fuel.
GlOW PluG
The Evolution Engine comes with a specially designed
"Super Plug" that prevents idle and transition flameouts.
The plug's unique shape directs incoming fuel/air mixture
away from the plug element. When replacing the plug,
be sure to replace it with another Evolution Super Plug
(EVOGP1).

In some conditions: Due to high altitudes, extreme
temperatures, etc., it may be necessary to slightly adjust
the idle and high-speed needle valves. The high- and low-
speed needles have limiters that prevent over-adjustment.
