RE: Testing the new NV (Norvel) .40 size (6.5cc) gasoline glow engine
You need to flip it over by hand about 100 times with some oil in it prior to starting. If you have had any of the small ones you are familiar with the drill. They have a tapered cylinder and are very tight at the top when new.
AME was the original Norvel stamping and they have carried that through to this day on a lot of the castings.
