It is the best to leave a little fuel in the tank at all times
even when the model is in your home or workshop. This remaining fuel will prevent
the carburettor diaphragms from drying out and becoming hard. Partially emptying
the tank only when really necessary i.e. when tank is full. To drain excess fuel off, invert
the model. As long as the self tapping screws are inserted, pressure cannot build up
in the tank. Make these two vent lines airtight, then liquid fuel will be forced into the
carburettor, causing a strong smell of petrol that cannot be ignored very easily.
Fuel tubing
Do not use transparent PVC-fuel tubing!
This clear fuel tubing often fits neatly onto
the nipples and seals nicely for a short while, but after a fairly short period, this clear
tubing becomes hard and expands a little in the process, due to the action of the petrol.
This tubing then moves due to engine vibration, allowing air to enter the fuel line. It
is well nigh impossible to seal this PVC tube satisfactorily.
Our specially made, thick-wall Neoprene fuel tubing is fairly soft and can be sealed
perfectly at the nipples with 0.5 mm copper or brass wire, by being wound twice
around the tubing and twisted together. Do not be tempted to use nylon tie straps
or small Jubilee clips to seal the fuel lines, these straps and clips do not exert pressure
right around the tubing, they only serve to pull the tubing into an oval shape on a
round nipple. The black fuel tube is very tough and due to having a very thick wall, it
is not easily kinked.
A very good alternative tube is the transparent yellow
Tygon® F-4040
tubing. It is
much lighter and does not expand in contact with petrol, also you can see air bubbles
in the fuel. You must use more care in laying this Tygon tube in the model to ensure
that there are no sharp bends. This tube is not especially heat resistant, therefore it
follows it must not make contact with any hot engine parts.
Fuel
For fuel, use unleaded petrol with a minimum of 95 octane mixed with a full synthetic
two stroke oil. The best two stroke oil you can buy is BEL RAY H1R. The advantage with
this BEL RAY racing oil from the racing bike world is a up to 10-times better lubrication,
more power, plus a top quality anti-corrosion element.
Attention with E10 Fuel: The shelf life is much shorter. Mixed fuel has to be used within
30 days.
Use a gasoline with as less ethanol as possible. The shelf life is much longer, the smell
lower and the burning more gentle.
Breaking-in mixture
5 Liter gasoline and 125 ml oil = 40:1, this 5 Liter are enough for the breaking-in.
