[. . . ] Basically, two leads, with clips, are required, but, for greater convenience, twin leads with special glowplug connectors, as shown on the right, are commercially available. 16 6 Fuel tank For installation in the model, a 300cc (10. 6oz. ) for 50SX and 40, 46FX, a 350cc (12oz. ) for 61FX, a 450cc (15. 8oz. ) for 91FX tank, is suggested. 7 Fuel bottle or pump For filling the fuel tank, a simple, polyethylene "squeeze" bottle, with a suitable spout, is all that is required. Alternatively, one of the purpose-made manual or electric fuel pumps may be used to transfer fuel directly from your fuel container to the fuel tank. 8 Electric starter and starter battery An electric starter is recommended for starting. 12V Battery 10 Silicone tubing This is required for the connection between the fuel tank and engine. 11 Plug wrench Used for tightening glowplug. long plug wrench is available as an optional accessory. For tightening glowplug Fuel bulb Fuel pumps Electric Manual Starter STARTING 1. Install appropriate propeller and tighten securely. 2. To facilitate electric starting, Install an O. S. solid aluminium alloy spinner-nut for centering the rubber drive insert of the starter. Alternatively, a good quality spinner, enclosing the propeller boss, may be used, but make sure that it is of precision-made and sturdy construction so that the spinner shell cannot loosen when the starter is used. Close the throttle. 9 Fuel can filter Fit a filter to the outlet tube of your refuelling container to prevent entry of foreign matter into the fuel tank. Fuel Can Filter 17 3. Do not allow fuel to overflow into the silencer, otherwise the engine may become flooded and difficult to start. (Do not overtighten. ) Now open the needle-valve counterclockwise to the starting setting:· 112~2 turns for 50SX, 40, 46, 61FX · 2~2 12 turns for 91FX · 3~4 turns for 61FX when a tuned silencer is used. Mark Turn needle-valve clockwise to close (for leaner mixture) Turn needle-valve counter-clockwise Close to open (for richer mixture) Open 6. Connect battery leads to glowplug. 7. Bring electric starter into contact with spinner-nut or spinner and depress starter switch for one or two seconds. When the engine starts, withdraw the starter immediately. Attention : Do not choke the carburettor air intake when applying the starter. This could cause an excessive amount of fuel to be drawn into the cylinder which may initiate an hydraulic lock and damage the engine. If the engine does not start within 10 repeat applications of the starter, remove the glow-plug, check that it glows brightly and that the cylinder is not flooded with fuel. (To eject excess fuel, close needlevalve and apply starter with glowplug removed. ) Then try again. Before being operated at full power (i. e. at full-throttle and with the needle-valve closed to its optimum setting) the engine must be adequately run-in, otherwise there is a danger of it becoming overheated and damaged. 5. [. . . ] Note: Do not inject after-run oil into the carburetor as this may cause the O-ring inside the carburettor to deteriorate. These procedures will reduce the risk of starting difficulties and of internal corrosion after a period of storage. 25 EXPLODED VIEW (50SX) C. M315 1 o 2 3 5 4 6 7 8 i-9 9 S. M33 C.
