So here's the first major run this year of the Super Tigre G2300 (the engine for my Carl Goldberg Wildstick 120). The video contains a lot of starts and stops as this is my first major run of this engine and first major run of any glow engine for that matter.
First off, here's what I am running:
Super Tigre G2300 (obviously) -Made in China
S&W 5% nitro fuel
OS 8 glow plug
16*8 Master Airscrew prop
16oz fuel tank
Dynamite NiMH glow plug ignitor
Electric starter (when I can't get it started by hand cranking)
On one of my last Super Tigre videos, somebody at the club, mentioned adjusting the low speed needle/screw at first by turning it all the way in and then coming out 3 turns. After doing so, it was a "struggle" as that prev video indicated.
Here's that video:
• SuperTigre Glow Engine...
I later found out from reading that this engine had the low speed needle/screw set from the factory and probably didn't need adjusted. Doh! And I'm only assuming the previous owner of the engine didn't touch it either.
I feel like later in the video I had it idling pretty good. So perhaps all is well with low speed. Just need to work on high speed adjustments next. It's pretty obvious it needs adjusted as when I would adjust from low rpm to high rpm sometimes it would die. Probably from being too rich.
Being brand new to glow/nitro engines, I think I have come a long way with learning quite a bit about this particular one. If anyone out there watching this has some knowledge to share on glow/nitro engines or even this particular engine, please leave a comment below. Thanks for watching!
I am hoping in the next major run of the engine, I'll do my best to keep it running. =)
