Hi everyone,
I tried to edit this post with no luck! I have a OS .32 engine I have run four tanks thought it. It when it idles it seems to idel a little up and then down. Not to smooth and on start up it runs but I have to leave the glow igintor on it for a while or it will die right away. It just doesn't idel smooth at all, like my OS .37 . Please help! Thank you

On the low end to richin turn it cloclwise or counter clock wise, I always forget. This might be a stupid question , but how much does weather affect this engine? I have a OS .37 and it runs perfect and I have had to do barely any adjusting. Is there a huge differance in these two engines? Should I upgrade to a bigger OS in this Raptor 30 V1?

Hi Andy,
I noticed when I clicked on the word glow plug it brought me to a page that was selling a glow plug ignitor. Have you used them? Ihave seen one from Align that is also a power regulator, have you heard of it and or use it? Thank you for the info

What would be the 2-1? sorry , I am a newbie!

Align 2-1 or 2 in 1. Its a regulator that includes a glow driver, you don't need a separate glow igniter battery, it lights the glow plug for 15 seconds at the push of a button from the receiver battery.
