Think about the guys with boats, you can't tell me a boat prop is a very big load on a glow engine ( out of water ), but i also don't see them running wide open on the bench to tune their engines.
I believe that most if not all small boat engines have a flywheel, and a flywheel acts like a load. and engine needs some type of load or control.
Yep minn your right, i now remember the pc where my starter belt was, it was a small flywheel, so i recind that last statement.
