Items necessary for starting

Tools, accessories, etc.The following items are
necessary for operating the engine.

BEFORE 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.
