RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

Looks like a P3 would be the best for small engines and low nitro followed by the P6.

I'll purchase a P3 and compare it to a stock plug.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

Mecoa makes a $3.99 head that accepts a standard long plug. I asked if they would consider making a Turbo plug head, no response.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

If you don't need max power out of these engines you can run them on 5% nitro and save your plugs.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

TH doesn't give a weight on the .09. I would like to know how much it weighs.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

If you bought it new, it had a good plug and broke it in per Norvel instructions it would be a good engine. You have to purchase used engines at the...

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

P,

Did you run the engine before with the regular head? If so, how did it run?

I have to set up my test stand to run the .061 again. No time until late next week.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

I have a thing for low nitro (less corrosion in my bigger engines) fuel and had 5% fuel on hand. That's what I run in all my other engines and wanted to see how this engine would perform on it. For...

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

On 5% nitro I'm about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 turns out. I would think higher nitro would require 2 to 3 turns out.

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

One thing I noticed was that to get a peak reading I would tune up from a very rich condition, about 1500 rpm from peak and then turn the needle to peak. It would only hold that rpm for a few seconds...

RE: Norvel Engine FAQ

I ran a grey Cox 5.5X4 today and it loaded it down to 15,500 peak. The engine didn't seen too happy with that prop. I reinstalled the 5X3 and it took a while to get the rpm back up to where it was.
