Maintenance

  

 

Being a high performance 2 stroke engine, certain parts 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.  

                                                   Size                    Torque specifications

 

          Spark plug:                            CM-6, 10mm       90 in. lbs. 
          Steel prop bolts:                     M5x 50mm         65 in. lbs. / wood props, 80 in. lbs. /carbon props. 
          Steel crankcase bolts:            M5x16mm        130 in. lbs. 
          Steel cylinder base bolts:       M5x16mm        160 in. lbs. 
          Alum. alloy carb mount bolts: M5x75mm            6 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 4m hex wrench for all M5 screws.  

 

For spinner mounting, the crankshaft extension is threaded for M5 screws. In this application (steel 
to steel) 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!  

 

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 is made 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
