Carburetor Settings & adjustment :
The Walbro carburetor used by NGH-GF60i2 Linear double cylinder 4-stroke
gasoline engine is matched with perfect idle stability and acceleration sensitivity;
It is better to remove all remaining fuel from the carburetor after a set of flights is
completed. The fuel is cleaned to prevent aging of the carburetor rubber parts. The
specific method: Start the engine without connecting the fuel pipe until the fuel in
the carburetor is exhausted.
Set up the carburetor:
①—Choke：Close it before the first start the engine, and quickly rotating propeller to suck the fuel in the tank, and the engine has a
detonation sound and then turn it on.
②—The throttle control arm：Infinitely adjustable-speed device, control the turning speed of the engine.
③—The nozzle：Connect the oil tank and supply the fuel to engine.
④—High speed needle(H)：After fully open the throttle control arm ②, adjust the high speed needle to achieve the best high speed.
⑤—Idling speed needle(L)：Put ②return to the initial position, adjust the idling speed needle to obtain a satisfactory low speed.
⑥—Idle mixture adjustment screw：Adjusting the fuel and air mixing ratio at idle, it actually control the initial position of ②,
adjust ⑥and ⑤will obtain the better idling speed.
Note: the carburetor's initial Settings are factory Settings and do not need to be adjusted when the engine starts for the first time.
The factory setting status:
④—High speed needle, completely close (clockwise) and then exit (counterclockwise) 1.5-1.75 rings；
⑤—Idle speed needle, Fully closed (clockwise) and then exit (counterclockwise) 1.5-1.75 rings；
⑥—Idle mixture adjustment screw, The throttle control arm at the other end of the limit pawl near the screw cone about 0mm.
Adjust Carburetor:
When you need to adjust the carburetor after your engine runs, please adjust it based on the factory settings:
Please use a high quality tachometer to judge your adjustment results when adjusting the carburetor. This tachometer is necessary for you to
buy one.
First adjust the high-speed oil needle: Turn the throttle to the maximum position when the engine is running, adjust the high-speed oil needle,
watch the change of the tachometer, adjust the engine speed to the maximum value per minute, and the engine works at a stable high-speed
state (Note: Don't let the engine run lean for a long time, it is a big damage to the engine.)
Adjust the idle speed needle: return the throttle to the idle position, adjust the idle speed needle and watch the change of the tachometer. Let
the engine run at a steady idle state (recommended 22x10 wood 2 blade propeller idle speed at 1300rpm), if necessary, adjust with the idling
mixture adjustment screw to ensure the steady engine idling and smooth acceleration; if the engine is hard to start at idle speed (Exclude CDI
igniter power shortage, too much fuel in combustion chamber, spark plug problems, etc), it means that the air-fuel ratio (A/F) at idle is low.
Please adjust the idle mixture adjustment screw to increase the air ratio, or adjust the idle oil needle to reduce the fuel quantity, so that the
air-fuel ratio is at an appropriate ratio. (Tip: The larger the size of the propeller the engine carries, the lower the ideal idle speed that can be
achieved.)
When the engine high speed and idle speed adjustment is completed, try to run the engine acceleration performance.
First let the engine to run 10 seconds at idling and then quickly move the throttle control arm at full throttle position, there will be the
following three situations:
A. The acceleration of the engine is very responsive and the smooth transition to the highest speed. It indicates that the engine is well adjusted.
B. Engine acceleration has a cough performance, gradually transition to the highest speed, illustrate the idle speed needle set relatively rich oil,
the idle speed needle to make a small adjustment (clockwise rotation), and then try again, try to accelerate the reaction constant adjustment
until the engine reaches your request.
C. Rapid throttle when the engine suddenly stopped running, this shows that the idle speed needle set relatively lean oil, the idle speed needle
to make a small adjustment (anticlockwise rotation), and then try again, try to accelerate the reaction constant adjustment until the engine
reaches your requirements.

The Fuel Tank Connecting：
Valve clearance adjustment:
Note: when adjusting valve clearance, please remove the gear box cover from the back cover and adjust valve clearance according to the mark
on the gear.
The first adjustment of the valve clearance is after the engine has been running for 2 hours. It is necessary to adjust the valve clearance after
every 8 hours of flight. Before adjusting the valve clearance, it should be checked that the valve mechanism moves flexibly and freely without
jamming. Due to the thermal expansion of the metal material, the adjustment of the valve clearance should be performed after the engine is
completely cooled. When adjusting the valve clearance, the valve clearance should be adjusted during the compression stroke of the engine
(both intake and exhaust valves are fully closed). Rotate the propeller manually, as shown in the figure below, and correspond to the TDC
mark points on the large and small gears corresponding to the front and rear cylinder positions. In this position, insert the plug (thickness 0.06
- 0.1mm) between the rocker arm and the valve and then adjust with a hexagonal wrench. After adjusting the clearance, tighten the hex nut
(Note: Hexagon nuts should not be screwed too tight)
The sequence of front and rear cylinders
Front cylinder valve clearance adjustment diagram Rear cylinder valve clearance adjustment diagram
Valve clearance adjustment is one of the most important aspects of four-stroke engine maintenance. Excessive valve clearance affects the
performance of the engine, aggravating the wear of the tappet and the cam, causing the camshaft to produce an abnormal sound; Small valve
clearance(or no clearance) will also affect the performance of the engine, resulting in loose valve closure, compression stroke leakage, engine
hard to start, etc.

Engine installation:
The NGH-GF60i2 Linear double cylinder 4-stroke engine is installed on a suitable RC aircraft with four strut connections. It can effectively
reduce the vibration of the four-stroke engine at high speed, as shown below:
Note: Please ensure that the back of the firewall of the RC aircraft is equipped with a metal flat washer or a pawl nut to prevent the
bolt from falling into the plywood. Please kindly always check for loose bolts before flying.
Connection of CDI electronic igniter:
When connecting the CDI electronic igniter, please pay attention to the high-voltage wire marked "B" on the CDI control box to connect the
engine's back cylinder, and the high-voltage wire marked "F" to connect the engine's front cylinder. If the front and rear cylinder high voltage
lines are interchanged, the spark plug does not ignite and the engine does not work.
Engine starting:
1. Firmly install the connected engine on the RC aircraft, lock the propeller, keep the carburetor in the factory setting state, connect the spark
plug, electronic igniter, sensor, fill the fuel inlet tank, and turn on the power and radio control equipment.
2. Turn off the power of the electronic igniter and turn off the choke valve of the carburetor. Rotate the engine propeller quickly and suck the
fuel into the carburetor. Don’t inhale too much fuel, Too much fuel will flood the spark plug and making it difficult to start the engine.
3. Open the choke door of the carburetor, turn on the power supply of the electronic igniter, use the motor starter to start the engine, and the
engine starts to work. At this time, enthusiasts can adjust the carburetor according to their own needs, according to the above steps to adjust
the carburetor.
Warning: make sure all bystanders, especially children, stay at least 30 meters away from the rotating engine.
Engine Break-in:
Please use high quality full synthetic 2T oils, gasoline and machine oil with mixing ratio 35:1. NGH is recommended to use smaller size
propellers at first break-in and follow-up about 10 times in flight. Keep medium speed running for 30 minutes (no more than 4000rpm) after
started engine, then high speed running (5500 rpm) for 3 minutes, at last medium speed running for 10 minutes, high speed running for 3

5
minutes, reciprocating 3-5 times complete break-in. Breaking in engine carefully will increase its life. Please make sure the engine got the
complete break-in before you use the larger load propeller.
Engine cooling:
If engine is installed in the fairing, there must be enough air coming in to cool the engine, and make sure there is enough air circulation in the
fairing.
Reference data: The exit area should be 3-5 times the inlet area to ensure adequate cooling, and if necessary, the rear cylinder should be
diverted to keep the rear tank cool.
Engine Trouble Removal:
If the engine is difficult to start, idle or idle speed is unstable, please check: whether the electric circuit and oil line of engine is trouble,
whether the engine leaks air, whether the electronic ignition works or its power supply is adequate, whether the spark plug flame out. If
necessary, replace with a new spark plug.
If the engine finds that a cylinder is not working at low speed, you only need to increase the throttle slightly to make the cylinder to work
properly that does not work.
Engine Maintenance:
In order to reduce the fuel consumption and extend the life of the engine, please adjust the engine’s highest speed and make engine run in the
output maximum speed of 90% once the gas pedal full opened, If the load is large (the diameter and pitch of the propeller are large), the speed
will be lower and the fuel consumption will be higher; if the load is small, the speed will be high, but the fuel consumption will be less; Please
make sure to empty the fuel in the carburetor after each flight, otherwise it’ll cause the rubber of carburetor aging and affect the engine
performance; Please clean periodically the carbon deposition on the spark plug and keep the gap from 0.7mm to 0.8mm between the electrodes;
If it’s difficult to start the engine, idle speed unstable or it is flameout during high speed operation, and there is carbon deposits in the spark
plug, please replace the spark plugs; Please clean the engine surface after used each time, it can make the engine to get better cooling; The
carburetor may be blocked seriously if you use different brands or types of lubricating oil together, you need select a better fuel filter;
Long-term low-speed operation will cause the spark plug to deposit carbon; Regularly check the fuel system to ensure no oil leakage and no
air leakage.
