Set the high speed needle (long needle located on the left side of carb in photo 3) around 4-5 turns out to start. Set the low speed needle (opposite side of HSN) so that the flat head screw is about flush with the carb. When the throttle barrel is completely open there should be a gap of a couple millimeters from the tip of the low speed needle to the spray bar.

Make certain you get a nice orange glow from the glow plug when you apply the glow igniter to it. Also make sure the carb is open only 2-3mm when the radio is at idle or neutral and can be closed completely shut when pushing the throttle lever. When applying full throttle the carb should be completely open.

To start the engine, fill up your tank with fuel. Turn on your radio equipment, transmitter first, receiver second. Prime the engine by placing your finger completely over the carb intake and turning over the engine using the electric starter. Make sure the starter spins in the proper direction for forward prop thrust before turning the engine over. Once the fuel reaches the the carb spin it over for a couple more seconds.

After priming the engine apply the glow igniter, recheck the throttle position and then turn it over to start it. Once it starts remove the igniter and toss the boat on to the water. Dropping the boat in the water or just placing it on the water will aerate the prop and the boat will not accelerate.

Here is an old video of mine taken last year. The video starts right as I’m applying the glow igniter after I primed the engine.
