Supercar5694,
1. Make sure the line coming from the clunk in the tank is going to the carb and the line from the vent in the tank is going to the muffler.
2. Fill the fuel tank.
3.Turn the high end needle valve all the way in and them back it out 1 1/2 turns.
4. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and open the carb all the way. Keep the transmitter within easy reach.
5. Place your thumb over the carb opening and rotate the prop towards you 3 - 4 times to prime the carb.
6. Close the carb opening to 1/4.
7. Attach glow driver to the glow plug.
8. Rotate the prop away from you until you feel resistance. This will give the prop a running start when you apply the electric starter. Grasp the plane firmly with your left hand and place the cone of the electric starter against the nose cone. Start the electric starter and rotate the prop towards you until the engine starts. If you don't have an electric starter, use a chicken stick to flip the prop toward yourself. To do this, slowly rotate the prop toward yourself until you feel resistance then apply the chicken stick to the back side of the prop and flip it toward yourself. If the engine does not start, check the glow plug to be sure that it is still good. To do this, remove the glow plug from the engine and attach the glow driver to it. The filiment will glow if it is good. You will also have to check the glow driver to be sure that it has a charge.
9. Once the engine starts, CAREFULLY remove the glow driver from the glow plug.
10. Move behind the plane, keeping a firm grip on it. keep the transmitter within reach.
11. Slowly advance the throttle to full open.
12. CAREFULLY turn the high speed needle valve in until the sound of the engine peaks. Turn the needle valve out 1/4 turn to richen the fuel flow.
13. CAREFULLY lift the plane with both hands so the nose is pointing up and listen for a sag in the RPM. If no sag, you're good to go. If there is a sag, turn the needle valve out another 1/8 turn and check it again by hold the nose up.
