YS Performance file
 

Does anyone have the tuning file from YSPerformance.com?? Specifically they YS-63FZ. Their website seems to be down.

Would you attach it here so others can get it?

Thanks.. Cole

I think this is a copy of what you are looking for:

PERFORMANCE SPECIALTIES
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL 4-STROKE YS ENGINES EXCEPT 140DZ
FUEL - YS 20/20. This fuel is made by several different fuel manufacturers. All are suitable. 30% heli fuel also works well for those desiring more power.
GLOW PLUG: YS #4 or OS Type F.
PROP SIZE RECOMMENDATIONS:
YS 63 -- 11 x 7, 11 x 8, 12 x 6, 12 x 7, 13 x 5, 14 x 4.
YS 91/110 -- 13 x 12, 14 x 10, 14 x 12, 15 x 8, 16 x 6.
YS 140 Sport - 15 x 13, 16 x 12, 17 x 8, 17 x 10.
YS 140DZ -- 16 x 14, 17 x 12, 18 x 8.
Other prop sizes may be used as long as the engines run in the recommended RPM ranges. In hot weather and break-in of new engines, use the smaller prop sizes to lessen the load on the engine to help it run cooler.
RECOMMENDED RPM RANGES:
YS 63 -- 10,500 to 11,500
YS 91/110 -- 8,800 to 9,800
YS 140 Sport -- 8,000 to 9,000
YS 140DZ -- 8,000 to 8,500
WHEN READYING ANY YS 4-STROKE ENGINE (EXCEPT DZ) FOR RUNNING, FOLLOW THESE PROCEDURES:

1. Be sure that the engines has fuel lines connected per the instruction sheet supplied with the engine.

2. Open high-speed needle valve 2 turns.

3. With fuel tank filled completely and the fuel lines connect properly, prime the engine by running it at full throttle with the starter for 5 - 10 seconds. DO NOT CONNECT THE STARTING BATTERY WHILE DOING THIS.

4. Set throttle at 1/4 open. Have a helper hold the airplane if so mounted.

5. Connect starting battery and apply starter. Engine should start immediately. If it does not, check for fuel delivery and make sure the glow plug is operating properly.

6. Upon starting, allow the engine to run at 1/4 throttle for at least 30 seconds.

7. Advance throttle to full and adjust the high-speed needle to a slightly rich full power setting. When set, slowly reduce throttle to a fast idle. [presumably appx 2,500 to 3,000 so injection is working]

8. Allow the fast idle to continue for a few seconds, then advance the throttle to full. If the transition from low to high is rich, the regulator screw should be turned clockwise. If the transition is lean, turn PERFORMANCE SPECIALTIESthe screw counter-clockwise to richen. Adjustment should be made 1/4 turn at a time until you are very close then 1/8 turn for fine adjustment. DO THIS ADJUSTMENT WITH THE ENGINE STOPPED FOR SAFETY.

9. When the transition is set correctly, then reduce the throttle to full idle. [2,000 rpm - Note that the Idle adj screw works opposite from Hi-speed needle.] If the idle speed slowly rises, screw the idle screw clockwise to richen. If the idle speed slowly drops, open the idle screw to lean. Work 1/8 turn at a time with the idle screw adjustment. Correct idle speed is 2200 to 2400 RPM. At this point the engine should be set correctly. FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE REQUIRED AS THE ENGINE BREAKS IN.

This looks like it has more detail than what is in the operators manual for the engine. Especially about setting the regulator.

Thanks for the info.

We are working on some new stuff for the YS Parts and Service website.

I have just been really busy and not sent Richard the "troy's tips" stuff yet.

gentlemen, my ys 60 2 stroke ,side exhaust doesn't idle that well. Starting and transition are exellent, but i'm afraid of thr idle. It seemes to load up when idled too long and on opening throttle it dies. Any suggestions? Widgeon

RE: YS Performance file
 

My guess is that you may be using too cold a plug. Try a hotter plug like a McCoy 59 or a K&B 1L. It may just be rich in the regulator.

Blessings, Terry

Thanks very much for the tip. I've been using an OS #8 from day one and the problem always existed. I suspected engine was'nt broken in as the cause. Widgeon

RE: YS Performance file
 

The OS#8 glow plug is a colder plug and works great in high RPM high heat conditions like 60 size 2 strokes....possible ducted fans, and other 2 stroke engines....That are fairly small like 90 size and below...

When you start getting to 4 strokes they needs a hot plug that is the OS #F or the YS 4 stroke plug.

This plug also works well in the large 120 and up 2 strokes.


Here is a link to the OS website and talks about the plugs are used for.

Aslo the instructions that came with your engine expressly ask for a glow plug designed for a 4 stroke.....so the YS plug and the OS #F are your best choices.

There are others out there but I have no experience with them. I know these two choices work and are redily available.
