Frequently asked questions

What should be done if the engine is over-primed before using an electric starter?

Remove the glowplug, close the needle-valve, apply the starter to pump out surplus fuel, and cover the head with a rag.

What fuel nitromethane percentage is recommended for this engine?

The manual suggests starting with a fuel containing 20% nitromethane, though it notes that commercially available fuels generally contain between 10-30%. If you increase the nitro content or change brands, you should repeat the running-in procedure.

What is the maximum length allowed for the starter cord?

You must not extend the operating handle more than 40cm (16"), as doing so could damage the cord through abrasion or engine heat.

How far back should onlookers stand when preparing the model for running?

For safety, you must keep all onlookers, especially small children, at least 20 feet or 6 meters away while preparing your model.
