TOOLS, ACCESSORIES, etc.

The following items are necessary for operating the

engine.

Items necessary for starting

FUEL

Generally, it is suggested that the user selects a fuel

that is commercially available for model two-stroke

engines and contains 10-30% nitromethane. As a
starting point, we recommend a fuel containing 20%

nitromethane, changing to a fuel containing more

nitro if necessary. When the brand of fuel is

changed, or the nitro content increased, it is
advisable to repeat the running-in procedure

referred to in the RUNNING-IN paragraphs. Please

note that with high-nitro fuels,
although power may be increased

for competition purposes,

glowplug elements do not last as

long and engine life will be

shortened.

REMINDER!

Model engine fuel is poisonous. Do
not allow it to come into contact with

the eyes or mouth. Always store it in a

clearly marked container and out of

the reach of children.

Model engine fuel is also highly

flammable. Keep it away from open
flame, excessive heat, sources of

sparks, or anything else which might
ignite it. Do not smoke or allow anyone

else to smoke, near to it.

FUEL FILTER

To installed in the fuel line between
fuel tank and carburetor to prevent
dust coming into the carburetor.

GLOWPLUG IGNITER

Commercialy available handy
glowplug heater in which the

glowplug battery and battery
leads are integrated.
