I HAVE THIS ENGINE WICH I GOT ON A TRADE, IM NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF STAIN IT IS BUT WILL LIKE TO HAVE IDEAS OR TECHNIQUES TO CLEAN THE ENGINE EXTERIOR PLEASE.
THANKS.

Dawn power dissolver. Works great. Let set for 15-20 minutes, scrub with old tooth brush.

I agree with Mustangman. That stuff works like magic. If the first appication doesn't do it, apply it again but, be patient and let it work. Don't be in a big hurry to start scrubing.
Oh, Iget mine at Walmart for less than $3 a bottle. Look for it on the dish detergent isle.

Hey, I'm not trying to slap you down, but there is a search button in the top right of the page that allows you to search this thread.  I typed in the word "cleaning", and hey presto!  30 posts, with 10 pages behind it all discussing how to clean glow engines.

Not trying to slap you down or anything but if you have the time to tell someone to do a search, you have time to answer the question

But, it would take a long time to repeat ALL of the activity of the subject addressed by the search.

Thank for your suggestion, i have purchased the product and will be using it.
Thanks.

Then hit the back button and go on about your surfing. Better to say nothing IMHO

It was still useful for me, I know to go to the dish detergent aisle now, not the laundry aisle.  I have looked all over at Walmarts in Canada and they don't have it.  I will check next time I go to Detroit. (put on a bullet proof vest?) I have tried the slow cooker and antifreeze thing once with ok results, but don't want it to turn black, so I will try the Dawn as soon as I can get some.  Carb cleaner results were kind of so so with me.

I use the crock pot method personally. As long as you do it on low, with old green, non environmentally friendly ethelene glycol it works great.

Be sure to post "after" photos, sir!

That is a very intelligent response to my valid input, how did you get to be qualified as a moderator, anyway?

If your opinion was the only one given for an inquirey, then we would all be in deep fog from helicoptor exhaust (to paraphrase an applicable expression that you might be able to relate to)

"Give a man a fish and he will eat it and then starve; show him how to fish and he will thrive" or something like that.

I thought it was a well thought out and lucid objection

FWIW I fly everything, gliders, giant scale, electrics, helis. I just happen to moderate the heli forums.

This site has the worst search software bar none.

"RC Universe Forum Search (Beta) Results 1 - 30 of 6026 for engine cleaning. (0.09 seconds) "

As Staples say, "That was easy"

This is the worst-reading thread I ever stumbled across. No fault of the original poster.

Let's get back to what the OP was asking about. Mike is right, this is getting out of hand.

Whatever you do DON'T leave the Dawn Power Dissolver on the engine more than ten minutes. It'll turn the aluminum dark. Better to clean it twice than try and eat it all off at one time.

I use it the stuff and it works pretty well.

Is this molten plastic from the cowling?
A heat gun will help to get most of this off.

OK, find the post where I listed my RPM results for glow ignited Vs EI ignition W/a Saito FA150.

On most forums I could just do a search for "Threads started by username" or "posts by username" & find it.

You can find your posts by clicking on your screen name, or of other members.

I'd like to think we are all grown ups here.  I'd like to think people can look for questions that have been previously answered in place of just posting a new topic.  I had thought I'd do it in a way that was not offensive and as has been pointed out, made the OP aware that there was a search function available.

I could have been a right ******* about it and typed all in capitals shouting to RTFF.  And I could have just backed out and not bothered, but I thought I'd help in a way that improves the usefullness of the forum.

Using the search function will give you an instant answer without having to wait for someone to post.

The site owners may as well delete any posts over a week old if we are just going to keep posting the same questions again and again.  <br type="_moz"/>

Status: online Hey guys, stay tuned for Saito XX (Twin) Porn 2. I've got the 300 pretty well dialed in so it's time to stip the test stand & mount my NIB Saito 200Ti twin to the stand. I also have an extra trigger ring for the prop hub (same as the 120-150-180) once I fabricate a proper cam housing mount for the spare hall sensorI have I'll be able to do a comparisone of glow Vs EI HP. On the FA 150 it was a 150 RPM increase W/an 18 X 8 prop, an increase of .155 HP & .67# of thrust W/23% longer run time @ WOT on the same fuel load.

Been there, done that. It only goes back to 6/16/2012. That's not a search, it's just a short list of my last few posts.

Not even close, you'll need to go back about 2 months or more. In the post i am looking for I laid out a table for idle RPM WOT RPM & run time on 8oz of fuel for 180 on glow ignition, 150 on glow ignition, 150 on spark ignitioin. All of the previous on 15% Cool Power. I also did a table for the 150 on EI running 15:1 E85/Klotz as well as cyliderhead temperature for all.

The post you just cited was a recent post where I was using memory of the Max RPM & a thrust calculator.
