3. Tube(C) should be set exactly at 3 15/16” or (10cm)
between the engine and check valve. DO NOT use
any other type of check valve. The check valve is
designed exclusively for the 91SR.
4. Adjust your throttle linkage and curve using the align-
ment indentations on the carburetor body located on
the throttle arm side of the carb body.
PLEASE NOTE that the hover position is at 40% see
FIG 2.
START UP
1. Always remove Tube(A) at the check valve first before
fueling. The fuel tank is pressurized and you need to
relieve the pressure first. Disconnected Tube(B) at
the filter and fill the tank. Reconnect Tube(A) and (B).
2. From the fully closed (clockwise) position, turn the
needle valves counter clockwise as follows.

OPERATOR’S MANUAL
91SR
(Helicopter Engine/ Part No.YS0061)
FEATURES
The 91SR is the latest in helicopter engine technology
from YS.
●
New stroke design for superior operation
●
New carburetor design for easier adjustments.
●
Factory preset fuel regulator.
CAUTION
Using gear ratios higher than 9.0 to 1 may result in en-
gine damage from overspeed.
GEAR RATIO
You should be using an engine to main rotor gear ratio
of 1-7.5 to 1-8.0. Please check with your helicopter man-
ufacturer to obtain the correct gear ratio.
INSTALLATION
1. The fuel lines should be connected to the fuel tank as
shown in the above figure. Be careful to install the
check valve in the correct direction. Since the tank is
exposed to high pressures, be sure that all connections
are tight to prevent pressures leakage.
2. Since the engine is sensitive to dirt in the fuel, a fuel
filter must be used. (We recommend the YS1195 fuel
filter.)
BREAK-IN
It is not necessary to mount this engine on a set stand
for break-in. However, the engine should be adjusted
slightly on the rich setting for the first few flights to insure
proper break-in. Always use a good quality fuel which
contain 15 ~30% nitromethane and an oil content of 18
~23% low viscosity oil.
NEEDLE VALVE ADJUSTMENT
Idle, Hover and High needle valves all work the same
way. Turning the needles clockwise will lean the fuel mix-
tures and counter clockwise will richer the fuel mixtures.
1. Set needles as described in START-UP.
2. Start the engine and check idle. Adjust as needed.
3. Lift helicopter into a hover and check for the correct
rotor RPM recommended by the kit manufacture.
Once this is done take note of the amount of smoke
being produced by the muffler. The mixture is correct
for hover when there is a steady stream of smoke
being produced.
4. Land the helicopter for approximately 20~30 seconds.
Lift the helicopter into a hover again taking note of the
transition from idle to hover. If the engine exhibits a
large amount of smoke and the throttle response is
sluggish, you will need to adjust the idle and or the
hover needle leaner to achieved a smooth transition.
If the engine detonates and the smoke is inconsistent
or a small amount is produced, the mixture is too lean.
5. The high speed needle refines the fuel mixture for
forward flights without affecting the hovering adjust-
ment. After the engine is started and warmed up, lift
off into a hover and check that the engine is running
smooth with a good trail of smoke. If everything is fine,
open the throttle and enter forward flight. Take note
of the amount of smoke like we did in a hover adjust-
ment. It is correct when you see a noticeable steady
smoke trail. Adjust the high-speed needle valve to ob-
tain slightly rich but consistent setting.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Fully close the throttle barrel to stop the engine.
2. As soon as the engine stops running, be sure that a
fuel line clamp is used in Tube(B) to prevent fuel from
flowing into the engine.
3. On the final flight of the day, the fuel line clamp should
be used to stop the engine in order to prevent rust
and corrosion.
FUEL AND GLOW PLUG
We have found that the fuel and glow plugs listed below
will give the best engine performance.
Fuel
Powermaster 30% Special Heli Blend
Cool Power 30% Special Heli Blend
Glow Plug _ YS #2 Enya #3 OS #8
IMPORTANT!
Silicone rubber is used in many parts of the YS engine.
Use only glow fuel of methanol for cleaning. Gasoline
and other volatile solutions will damage silicone if used.
WARRANTY
Strict quality control is implemented by our factory in all
phases, from parts manufacturing to final assembly.
If performance deteriorates or a part fails due to a manu-
facturing error, YS Parts and Service will repair or re-
place the engine at no charge in the period of one year
from date of purchase.
Warranty does not cover normal
maintenance. Should the engine be modified, incorrectly
assembled or abused, there will be a normal charge for
parts and labor.
