I put an arrow to the air mixture valve to ask a question....from the closed position and the body adjustment sitting at 90deg, how many rounds out do I need to start at? Im assuming this is just like the high end needle? New to DF engines so any thing helps!

thanks and have a great 4th of July!

Two turns open is a good place to start.

To start my engines, especially after the plane has been unflown for a while, I disconnect the pressure tubbing from the fan, and with a siringe I put pressure in until I can see the fuel just getting to the carburator, then I unscrew the plug and do as Robert said. That way the engine starts at the first try every time. Doing it this way, the hex screw at the fan lasts a lot longer. Remember to put some grease in yor hex starter, otherwise the screw won´t last long (ask me how I know).

Regards

Eduardo

Status: offline 		Man, you guys are great!

On the starter cone, the hex backs out when starting, its threaded opposite. So, am I going to have to pull the whole thing out and use a piston lock tool to tighten her down? or can I do my best from upfront and loctite it in? For my helis we use a locking tool to tighten the fans on, but its easy to get to...

am I gonna have to pull the whole thing out? LOL?!?!?!?

great 4th!
