Default Tunning the .46 evo engine

Okay,

I have the Alpha Trainer with the Evo 46 engive. How do I make sure that the low and high throtttle settings are correct?

The manuel for the engine gives the technical stuff, but I would recommend having someone show you how to do it... not because you can't figure it out; but because it is so much faster and less stressful.

and they can show you the little obscure tricks that make all the difference that the manual will not tell you.

King,

Is the engine misbehaving in any way?

From what I've read, the Evolution engines have limiters on the needles, and not much adjustment is allowed with them. It should be pretty close to set from the factory, and if you are having problems, it may point to some other area such as fuel, or glow plug.

THE BOOK SAYS TO PINCH THE FUEL LINE, THE RPMS SHOULD INCREASE ABOUT 1-200 RPM THEN DIE. IF IT INCREASES MORE, IT NEED TO BE LEANED OUT, IF IT DOESNT INCREASE IT IS TOO LEAN AND NEED TO BE RICHENED.
MINE RAN ALMOST PERFECT OUT OF THE BOX.
