Maintenance 

 

 

Being a high performance 2 stroke engine, certain parts of your DA35 can wear quickly. Under normal operation, 
pistons, piston rings, needle bearings, spark plugs, etc. may need occasional non-warranty replacement to insure 
peak performance.  

 

Screws can come loose! After a few flights check that all screws are secure. Periodically check that all screws are 
tightened to the correct torque rating. It's recommended to replace, rather than re-use the red aluminum screws. 

                                                          

                                                        Size                    Torque specifications 

          Spark plug:                               CM-6, 10mm       90 in. lbs. 
          Steel prop bolts:                        M4x 40mm         65 in. lbs. 
          Aluminum crankcase bolts:       M5x20mm          70 in. lbs. (Don’t re-use. Replace with new) 
          Aluminum cylinder base bolts:  M5x13mm          70 in. lbs. (Don’t re-use. Replace with new) 
          Aluminum carb mount bolts:     M5x55mm          50 in. lbs.*  

                    

 

      *Caution: Care must be taken to not over tighten the carb mounting bolts. Over tightening can distort and damage the    
                      injected molded reed valve parts and rubber gaskets.  
                                                                     

 

Use a 4mm hex wrench for all M5 cap screws. 

 

Use a 3mm hex wrench for all M$ cap screws 

 

For spinner mounting, the crankshaft extension is threaded for M5 screws. In this application the 10-32 SAE 
screws supplied with most spinners will work fine in the M5 threaded hole. Do not substitute 10-32 screws for any 
other screws on the engine!                                                                                            6 

 

Inspect the engine periodically for any signs of fuel seepage. This can indicate an air leak which can create a lean 
fuel/air ratio, which in turn can cause erratic running and engine damage. If tightening the appropriate screws 
does not cure the problem, contact Desert Aircraft. 

 

After prolonged use, carbon deposits can build up on top of the piston and on the combustion dome of the 
cylinder. Great care must be taken when trying to remove these carbon deposits to avoid damaging the parts. 
Once an attempt to remove carbon has been made, the task must be completed, as any remaining carbon may 
be loosened and can dislodge while the engine is running. This can damage the engine and/or bridge the spark 
plug. 

 
Manuals may be updated with additional tips and trouble-shooting info from time to time. Please check our web site, 

 

Remember! This motor can stop at any time, for a variety of reasons. Do not fly your plane in a way 
that damage or harm will result if the motor stops running. If you cannot safely fly your plane if the 
engine stops for any reason, do not fly the plane. 
Desert Aircraft will not be responsible for damage caused in engine–out situations.
