You say you are not happy because it is running a tad rich but in my experience the engine will unload when in the air and eliminate that tad bit of richness. I always leave mine running a teeny tad rich while on the ground. The one reason I do this is because if you lean it too much (an adjustment where you feel its perfect) ..... when it gets in the air and uloads it will then run too lean and shut down. Nice looking engine
Hi Ron or Tom. Its me, the Swedish person. Awsome to have a new video even thogh I don't have a nitro engine. Anyways, I just want to leave a little feedback: Me and almost everyone I know think it is anoying when youtubers say "don't forget to subscribe" because it doesn't in my experience get anyone to subscribe and it's just annoying. You guys didn't say it but the little animation was still a little annoying. Just want to point that out.
Hi from Australia. Have just bought 2 of these same engines. Thanks, your vid was informative however my engines were supplied with both low speed and high speed needles turned all the way in. Can you tell me how many turns out from the fully in position that might get me in the ball park for both needles. Not having any luck at the moment. Thanks
Try starting with the high-speed needle 3 full turns out and the low-speed needle 2 turns out. Be sure to use a fresh glow plug and fresh fuel. O.S. Type F (medium heat) plugs are very good, but pricey. 10% nitro should work well. It's all I use on larger glow engines. Hope this helps.
Nice. I have exactly the same engine with little run time. Had been left for years with caster in it, took some cleaning out especially the Dykes piston ring which was ceased solid. A gift from a friend. Would be nice to see yours in a model.
Once you have made the "static" adjustments onthe ground, then does the throttle movement always generate monotonic increase in speed? For an example of monotonic increase, moving the throttle clockwise ALWAYS increases cyclic velocity (Hz). Another example of monotonic increase, moving the throttle counter-clockwise ALWAYS increases cyclic velocity (Hz). A non monotonic adjustment will increase and then decrease the controlled variable. I am interested in making a PLL motorcontroller. I am an EE not ME, so my vocabulary might appear strangely.
It’s just easier sometimes to turn the screw at idle when the whole machine isn’t screaming, vibrating and blowing a heap of air against your hand when making small adjustments.
