All  internal-combustion  engines  benefit,  to  some 
degree, from extra care when they are run for the first 
few times    known as running-in or breaking-in. 
This  is  allows  the  working  parts  to  mate  together 
under load at operating temperature.
However,  because  O.S.  engines  are  made  with  the 
aid of the finest modern precision machinely and from 
the  best  and  most  suitable  materrials,  only  a  very 
short and simple running-in procedure is required and 
can  be  carried  out  with  the  engine  installed  in  the 
model. For the first few flights with a new engine    i.e.
while  the  engine  is  being  run-in        set  the  needle-
valve for a slightly rich mixture    not excessively rich 
as this may result in poor throttle response and cause 
the  engine  to  stope.  About  one  half  turn  open  from 
the nomal setting will usually suffice.

RUNNING-IN ("Breaking-in")

ADJUSTMENT

Please observe the following before beginning to 
make any adjustment. 

High-Speed  Needle  Valve.  Turn  this  approximately 
30  degrees  (3  to  4  click)  at  a  time,  when  making 
initial  adjustments;  then  in  steps  of  approximately 
15  degrees  (1  to  2  clicks)  when  making  final 
adjustments.

Idle  Mixture  Control  Screw.  Turn  approximately  10 
degrees  at  a  time.  It  turns  approximately  90 
degrees  both  side  from  the  center.  Turn  left  to 
enrich the idle mixture and turn right to lean the idle 
mixture.

25

The  general  course  of  adjustment  procedure  is 
shown  in  the  ADJUSTING  CHART  and  is  correct 
for  a  fuel  containing  20%  lubricant  and  15-30% 
nitromethane.

Bear  in  mind  that  fuels  containing  relatively  large 
percentages of power-boosting nitromethane operate 
at  richer  mixture  settings  than  are  needed  for  mild 
fuels  and  will,  therefore,  require  the  High-Speed 
Needle Valve to be readjusted accordingly. The type 
and  percentage  of  lubricant  used  is  also  a  factor 
here, as noted later in these instructions.

As  a  safety  measure,  first  check  the  transmitter 
controls,  including  the  throttle  stick  and  trim  lever 
positions,  and  hold  the  main  rotor  securely  before 
starting the engine.

This carburetor is not equipped with a throttle 
stop  screw.  Instead,  idling  speed  is  adjusted 
by  means  of  the  throttle  trim  lever  on  the 
transmitter.

Warm the engine by allowing it to idle for about 30 
seconds. If the engine stops, advance the throttle 
trim  lever  slightly  to  increase  the  idle  rpm.  Then 
open  the  throttle  sufficiently  to  'float'  the  model 
above  the  ground.  lf,  at  this  time,  the  engine  is 
slow  to  pick  up  and  produces  an  excess  of 
exhaust  smoke,  the  mixture  is  too  rich.  Correct 
this condition by turning the Mixture Control Screw 
clockwise  10  degrees.  lf  the  mixture  is  extremely 
rich,  engine  rpm  will  become  unstable:  opening 
the throttle will produce a great deal of smoke and 
rpm  may  drop  suddenly  or  the  engine  may  stop. 
This  condition  may  also  be  initiated  by  an 
excessively  prolonged  warming-up  period.  lf,  on 
the other hand, the mixture is too Iean, this wiIl be 
indicated by a marked lack of exhaust smoke and 
a  tendency  for  the  engine  to  cut  out  when  the 
throttle  is  opened.  ln  this  case,  turn  the  Mixture 
Control  Screw  counter-clockwise  10  degrees  to 
enrich the mixture.
