Very nice build! I just ordered the same engine and the new model of the phoenix corsair…hope the engine will fit… I am also not sure if the motor comes with the plugs extension…are these stock or did you made them?
Oh man!! I haven't built mine yet but a club member put a three cylinder 33 of some type in his and had to 3D print a larger cowl for it to fit. Is that that stock cowl on yours? I haven't even opened the box on mine so I don't know the cowl size.
Hi, Yes it’s the stock cowl. I had to change out the valve cover screws from standard to flush fit tapers and grind the cowl just a little bit then apply thin layer of epoxy where the valve covers are. Minimum clearance but it’s working just fine. You can see the flush fit screws in the beginning of the video with the cowl off.
I also have the Staufenbiel/FMS Red Bull Corsair. Still waiting to build my Phoenix Model. Had planned on an EME35 with auto start but this video has me thinking otherwise.
Preheat the motor up to about 220° before each start, then use your pull starter. That way, your pull starter has a better chance at life past 1-2 gallons. Dead idle during break-in is not what you want. You want it a bit higher than that. Right to the point that the clutch starts to grab the tires and turn them. This adds load to the motor as you break-in. Mine are ran steady for about 1 hr stationary on the starter box when new , preheated to 220° first, then started,. I vary the heat and cooling on the motor during that hour, with heat gun and compressed air nozzle. No cooler than about 200° with the air nozzle, then back up to about 250° with the heat gun, Back and fourth like that. After 2-3 tanks, it's fully broke it. Even after that, I preheat all my motors to at least 200° before starting. Been doing it this way for 35 years. I have a OS .12 purchased in 1996 that has well over 75 gallons across the orig piston and sleeve, at 75cc per tank. I have a OS .18TM that has about 50 gallons thru it. All used this break-in procedure, along with all my Nova motors. I kinda miss my 2003-4 Savage .25. Won alot of races, once it was hopped up properly . There was really cool and thought-out aftermarket for it back then, till about 2008. Now, you have nothing basically.
Whats up bro! Great video, sucks you killed the diff. Let me just say, the 2-speed was sickening and I love that you have a SCION IQ. I own the Smart Fortwo - but really wanted the IQ. Sickening once again!..
I love how in the USA they are always building new houses. Here in the UK they never build any new houses and the price of the current ones just goes up and up.
Why spend $3k on a walk behind when you can get a lawn tractor and blower attachment with equal power for the same price and only have one machine to maintain summer and winter.
Hi yes I thought it was standard roller bearing as I could hear it rattling if you change it out to the 5x8x2.5 flanged sealed type one on the inside then 4 or 5 normal 5x8x2.5 sealed type in the rest of the clutch you’ll work it out but so much smoother more reliable and you won’t have to keep oiling them + less movement in the clutch bell. Let me know if you fit them make a video on it .✋😀👍
It is the loctite. Make sure your Allen is all the way in and it will loosen up after a few turns. Start at 3 1/2 turns out from bottomed out. Once you find a good spot you can re-loctite.
Am I understanding things correctly? #1. As I rotate the assembly to line things up, is it the lower of the two holes I want for the adjustment? #2. It's just the adjustment screw in the correct hole? There isn't an additional locking screw that sits on top of the adjustment screw to lock things is there?The book makes me second guess myself between the multiple drawings.
@@mikeh.748 Hi Mike, #1 yes, it is the lower of the two holes. #2 There is no other set screw in the same hole as the shift adjustment screw. The upper hole has the screw pin with another set screw over it to keep it locked in there.
Not sure if you touched the needles because the engine kept shutting off on you or something but towards the end of the video, you're definitely running to lean, not only for break in but in general. Also, the idle doesn't have to be so high. Anyway, hope you get the break-in completed and go have fun. If this is your first nitro then it's understandable that this will also be a learning tool. Enjoy.
