ORIGINAL: schutter
Just have my first gas engine, but i have a really silly question it seems, I have a Aeroworks Edge 540, with a DLE 30cc engine in it. My question is how will i use the choke, every time cold start? or whens the proper time and how much to open it? basically the reason i ask this is ive installed the choke pushrod as per manual, and it seems fairly dangerous once the engines running to shut it off cause the way its mounted is very close to the prop in the front.
Thanks
No question is silly if you do not know the answer. The engine will not run with the choke on, so after the engine pops, you turn the choke off and start the engine. Since this is your first gas engine I would suggest you ask someone more experienced with them to take you safely through the normal starting technique, so as to aquaint you with how the engine behaves.
