ENGINEN PARTS LIST

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Please pay attention to the matters described 

below to ensure that your engine serves you well 

in regard to performance, reliability and long life.

As previously mentioned, it is vitally important to 

avoid operating the engine in conditions where dust, 

disturbed by the propeller, may be deposited on the 

engine and enter its working parts.

Remember to keep your fuel container closed to 

prevent foreign matter from contaminating the fuel.

Install a fuel filter to prevent foreign matter in the fuel 

container from entering the fuel tank.  O.S. Super 

Filters (L) and (S) are available as optional extras.
Install an in-line fuel filter between the tank and 

carburetor to prevent foreign matter in the tank from 

entering the carburetor.

If these precautions are neglected, restriction of fuel 

flow may cause the engine to cut out, or the fuel/air 

mixture to become too lean causing the engine to 

overheat.

Clean these filters periodically.

The use of modern high-performance alcohol based 

model engine fuels, while promoting cooler running, 

improved anti-detonation combustion and increased 

power, have the disadvantage of causing corrosion 

due to the acid by-products of combustion. 

The use of nitromethane in the fuel can also 

contribute to the problem.
Do not close the needle-valve and mixture control 

valve too far as this will cause a lean setting and 

over heating of the engine. This can, in turn, create 

nitromethane oxide leading to internal rusting of the 

engine. Always adjust the needlevalve slightly on the 

rich side of peak rpm.

Do not leave unused fuel in the engine at the 

conclusion of a day’s flying. Accepted practice is to 

cut off the fuel supply while the engine is still running 

at full throttle, then expel as much fuel residue as 

possible by turning the engine over 5-10 seconds 

with the electric starter. 

Finally, inject some after-run oil through the glowplug 

hole and turn the engine over several times by hand.

When the engine is not to be used for some months 

(for example, as between flying seasons), a 

worthwhile precaution is to remove it from the 

airframe and, after washing off the exterior with 

alcohol (not gasoline nor kerosene), remove 

carefully the carburetor with intake pipe, glow plug 

and all silicone tubing and put them safely aside. 

Then, immerse the engine in a container of alcohol. 

Rotate the crankshaft while the engine is immersed. 

If foreign matter is visible in the alcohol, rinse the 

engine again in clean alcohol.  Finally, shake off and 

dry the alcohol, and inject some after-run oil in the 

glowplug hole and rotate the crankshaft several 

times by hand. 

Reinstall the carburetor with intake pipe and 

glowplug on the engine and keep it in a dry place 

after putting in a vinyl bag.
