Exhaust pipe adjustment

The  direction  of  the  exhaust  pipes  may  be  altered  in 
accordance  with  individual  installation  requirements.  The 
angle is easily adjusted by loosening the nut that secures 
the  exhaust  pipe  to  the  cylinder  head.  Use  a  12mm 
wrench.

Carburetor cleanliness

It  is  recommended  that  the  fuel  is  passed  through  a  filter 
when  the  tank  is  filled  and  that  a  good  in-line  filter  is 
installed between the fuel tank and carburetor.

Occasionally  remove  the  needle-valve  holder  from  the 
carburetor  and  rinse  out  the  locations  shown  below  with 
methanol  or  fuel.  Be  careful  not  to  lose  the  gasket  when 
removing the needle-valve holder from the carburetor.

FUEL TANK & LINES

Make sure that the tank is well rinsed out with methanol or 
glow fuel before installation and that the pickup weight is 
well clear of the bottom of the tank when held vertically.

Locate  the  fuel  tank  as  close  as  possible 
to  the  carburetor,  or  the  fuel  level 
difference  will  affect  the  engine  running 
when the model is upright or inverted.

Set  the  fuel  tank  position  so  that  the 
carburetor center line is 1/3 lower than 
from  the  tank  top  when  the  model  is 
placed horizontal.

Approx. 15mm

1/3

Be  sure  to  follow  the  instructions  concerning  the 
relationship  between  fuel  tank  and  carburetor  position,  or 
the expected stable idle running will not be obtained even 
with adequate carburetor adjustment.

For plumbing, use heavy duty silicone tube of 2.5mm inner 
dia and 5mm outer dia.
