High-Speed Needle Tuning

Once the engine is running reliably at full (open) throttle:

1. Lean the high-speed needle 1/16 of a turn at a time.

2. Wait 2–3 seconds for the engine to respond. 

Radial engines do not respond immediately  

to tuning changes.

 

a. 

     If there is an increase in RPM: Lean the 

high-speed needle an additional 1/16 turn and  

wait for the engine to respond to the tuning 

change. If there is no increase in RPM  

after the change, turn the high-speed needle 

back to its previous position.

 

b.   

    If there is a decrease in RPM: Richen 

the high-speed needle 1/8 turn and wait for  
the engine RPM to stabilize.

3. Repeat Step 2 until you determine the 

maximum RPM with the fuel and propeller  

you selected.

4. Richen the high-speed needle so when full throttle 

is applied, the engine rpm will be steady 

(not drop off) after reaching its peak RPM. Richening 

the high-speed needle allows the RPM  

to increase when the airplane is ying.

1. Start the engine.

2. Move the throttle stick up until the engine is running at approximately 2,000 rpm.

3. If you are using separate exhaust pipes, use a temperature gun to make sure hot exhaust  

is exiting all engine cylinders. If you are using a collector ring, use a temperature gun to make 
sure all the cylinder temperatures are similar and ring smoothly.

4. Move the throttle stick up to full (open) throttle. If the engine runs rough or if some cylinders 

are not operating, the fuel mixture is too rich. 

5. Lower the throttle stick until the engine reaches 2,000 rpm. Lean the high-speed needle  

(turn clockwise) 1/16 turn. 

6. Quickly raise the throttle stick to full (open) throttle. If the engine stops running,  

the high-speed needle setting is too lean. 

7. Lower the throttle stick until the engine reaches 2,000 rpm. Richen the high-speed  

needle (turn counterclockwise) 1/8 turn.

8. Repeat Steps 4–7 until the engine is running reliably at full (open) throttle.
