BREAK-IN
To maximize engine performance and increase durability, please follow
this break-in procedure.
1 Use the same size ( or slightly smaller ) propeller than you intend
to use in flying.
2 Use a good quality fuel containing 15% to 30% nitro, and oil content
of 20% to 24%. Synthetic oil only. If you use caster oil, no more
than 2% is recommended.
DO NOT USE FOUR CYCLE FUEL DUE TO LOW OIL CONTENT.
3 After the engine has started, slowly bring the throttle up to full.
Set high speed needle so it is running at a good rich setting without
the glow driver.
4 After the initial 20 minute break-in, mount the engine in the aircraft
and set the high speed to a richer than normal setting for the first
10 flights. This will help to lubricate all moving parts.
1. how much i need to open the speed needle ? ( people caution me that if the engine run to rich it able to suddenly stop and broken! )
2. how much time need to break-in ?
3. if i do the break-in on wood plate i need to use with shock absorbing soft mount ?
You said in the first part of your post that the "engine never worked". Do you know what was wrong with it? What were the issues with it?
