Items necessary for starting

TOOLS, ACCESSORIES, etc.

The  following  items  are  necessary  for  operating  the 
engine.

FUEL

Generally, it is suggested that the user selects a fuel 
that is commercially available for model two-stroke 
engines and contains 10-30% nitromethane. 
As a starting point, we recommend a fuel containing 
20% nitromethane, changing to a fuel containing more 
nitro if necessary. When the brand of fuel is changed, 
or the nitro content increased, it is advisable to repeat 
the running-in procedure referred to in the RUNNING-
IN paragraphs. 
Please note that with high-nitro fuels, 
although power may be increased for 
competition  purposes,  glowplug 
elements  do  not  last  as  long  and 
engine life will be shorter.  

!  

REMINDER!

Model  engine  fuel  is  poisonous.  Do  not 
allow  it  to  come  into  contact  with  the  eyes 
or  mouth.  Always  store  it  in  a  clearly 
marked  container  and  out  of  the  reach  of 
children.

!  

Model  engine  fuel  is  also  highly  flammable. 
Keep  it  away  from  open  flame,  excessive 
heat,  sources  of  sparks,  or  anything  else 
which might ignite it. Do not smoke or allow 
anyone else to smoke, near to it. 

GLOWPLUG IGNITER

glowplug  heater  in  which  the 
glowplug battery and battery leads
