evolution engines Auto-choke Ignition System
The spark ignition included with your Evolution ® gas engine is a modern generation electronic ignition. There are many useful
functions built into the microprocessor of this unit.
In addition to the basic ignition functions, the unit has a FAIL-SAFE feature: After 90 seconds of inactivity it automatically switches to
an inactive state. In order to restart normal operation, it is necessary to turn the battery switch off and then back on. This function will
preserve battery life should the switch be left in the on position during inactivity.
Installation of the Auto-choke Ignition unit
While installing the ignition unit in your model, be careful to have all parts that are connected to the unit and the engine situated
as far as practical from the radio receiver and radio antenna. The throttle servo should be mounted a distance of 8–12 inches from
the engine. The spark plug cable must not touch any part of the model structure as vibration may damage the cable. If this is not
practical, it will be necessary to provide an insulation material for the cable. The ignition unit itself should be wrapped in foam rubber
to prevent engine vibration from damaging the electronics. All components must be protected from contact with engine fuel.
