Remember that your engine is not a "toy", but a highly efficient internal-
combustion machine whose power is capable of harming you, or others, if it is
misused.
As owner, you, alone, are responsible for the safe operation of your engine, so act
with discretion and care at all times.
If at some future date, your O.S. engine is acquired by another person, we would
respectfully request that these instructions are also passed on to its new owner.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS ABOUT YOUR O.S. ENGINE
The advice which follows applies basically to ALL MODEL ENGINES and is
grouped under two headings according to the degree of damage or danger
which might arise through misuse or neglect.
WARNINGS NOTES
These cover events which
might involve serious (in
extreme circumstances, even
fatal) injury.
These cover the many other
possibilities, generally less obvious
sources of danger, but which, under
certain circumstances, may also
cause damage or injury.

WARNINGS
Model engine fuel is poi-
sonous. Do not allow it to
come into contact with the
eyes or mouth. Always
store it in a clearly marked
container and out of the
reach of children.
Model engine fuel is also
highly flammable. Keep it
away from open flame,
excessive heat, sources of
sparks, or anything else
whichmightigniteit.Donot
smokeorallowanyoneelse
to smoke, near to it.
Never operate your engine in an en-
closed space. Model engines, like
automobile engines, exhaust deadly
carbon-monoxide. Run your engine
only in an open area.
Model engines generate
considerable heat. Do not
touch any part of your
engine until it has cooled.
Contact with the muffler
(silencer), cylinder head
or exhaust header pipe, in
particular, may result in a
serious burn.

This engine is intended for model cars.
Do not attempt to use it for any other
purpose.
Mount the engine in your model
securely, following the manufacturers'
recommendations, using appropriate
screws and locknuts.
Fit an effective silencer (muffler).
Frequent close exposure to a noisy
exhaust (especially in the case of the
most powerful highspeed engines)
may eventually impair your hearing
and such noise is also likely to cause
annoyance to others over a wide area.
The wearing of safety glasses is also
strongly recommended.
Take care that the glowplug clip or
battery leads do not come into contact
with rotating parts. Also check that the
linkage to the throttle arm is secure.
For their safety, keep all onlookers
(especially small children) well back
(at least 20 feet or 6 meters) when
preparing your model for running.

NOTES
To stop the engine, fully retard the
throttle stick and trim lever on the
trans-mitter, or, in an emergency, cut
off the fuel supply by pinching the fuel
delivery tube from the tank.
•
Warning! Immediately after a glowplug-
ignition engine has been run and is still
warm, conditions sometimes exist
whereby it is just possible for the engine
to abruptly restart if it is rotated over
compression WITHOUT the glowplug
battery being reconnected.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble the
recoil starter of the 15CV-X.
If you do so, the very strong spring
inside will be suddenly ejected. This
can be very dangerous.
Do not extend the starter cord more
than 45cm (18"). Do not abruptly
release the operating handle. Allow
the cord to rewind smoothly while
still holding the handle.
•
•
Pull the operating handle straight out
when starting the engine, so that the
cord does not rub against the vehicle
body or engine. This will help prevent
the cord from being damaged by
abrasion or engine heat.

INSTALLING THE GLOWPLUG
Carburetor
NOTE:
With this engine, the piston will feel tight at
the top of its stroke when the engine is cold.
This is normal. The piston and cylinder are
designed to achieve a perfect running
clearance when they reach their normal
running temperatures.
Fit washer to glowplug and
insert carefully into cylinder-
head, making sure that it is
not cross-threaded
before tightening firmly.
BASIC ENGINE PARTS
The MAX-15CV and MAX-15CV-X are
high-performance engines for 1/10
class R/C racing cars. The MAX-15CV-X
is equipped with a built-in recoil starter
system which eliminates the need for a
separate electric and starter battery.

ENGINE INSTALLATION
Make sure that the vehicle's engine mounting
surfaces are level and in the same plane. Poor
installation may cause distortion of the
crankcase, bearings, etc., resulting in erratic
running and loss of performance.
The recommended screws for securing the
engine are 3mm or 4-40 steel Allen hexagon
socket type.
If existing holes in the engine mount do not align
perfectly with engine mounting lugs, enlarge
them slightly with a needle-file so that screws
enter vertically.
Chassis
Chamfer inside edges of bearers.
NOTE:
Where spacers are supplied joined in pairs
(see sketch) separate them as shown.
Either face may be placed downwards.
Avoid forcing the screws. Secure with locknuts.
If the bottom of the recoil starter housing would
otherwise touch the car chassis, fit the engine
mount spacers (supplied) between the engine's
mounting lugs and the engine mount. Use the
M3x15 screws provided. With some vehicles, it
may be necessary to make minor trimming
modifications to chassis or body when fitting the
engine.

This is a heavy-duty wet type air cleaner that has
been developed specifically for the O.S. MAX-CV
series model car engines.
It contains specially impregnated filter elements which
prevent highly damaging dust and dirt from being
drawn into the engine through the carburettor, yet
allow engine performance to be maintained for longer
periods between element renewals. The Type 102 air
cleaner has a special rubber body which facilitates
easy yet secure fitting, with positive sealing at the
carburettor air intake.
AIR CLEANER TYPE 102
INSTALLATION OF AIR CLEANER
Carefully clean the carburetor,
removing any old adhesive or
sealant that may have been
previously used on the outside
of the air intake.
•
Press the air cleaner body firmly
over the carburetor air intake. Make sure that the
outer rim of the air intake engages the internal
annular groove in the air cleaner: failure to do so
may result in the air cleaner falling off. See sketch,
right.
•
INSTALLATION OF THE CARBURETOR
As delivered, the engine has its carburetor
lightly fitted into its intake boss. Secure it as
follows.
Loosen the retainer screw, rotate the
carburettor to its correct position and make
sure that it is pressed well down into the
intake boss, compressing the rubber gasket,
before retightening screw.
Rotate the retainer screw gently until it
stops, then tighten a further 60-90˚.
Do not overtighten the screw as this will
damage the carburettor body.

2.
Rotate the retainer nut
gently until it stops. Tighten a further 60-90˚

Always remove contaminated elements carefully, to
ensure that dirt cannot enter the carburetor.
Position the air cleaner correctly, so that it does not
foul the cylinder-head or obstruct the needle-valve.

REPLACEMENT OF ELEMENTS
It is advisable to replace the upper filter element with
a new one after not more than one hour of running
time. It is not necessary to discard the lower element
as frequently, but be sure to change it when it
becomes soiled.

NOTES CONCERNING THE RECOIL STARTER
( 15CV-X ONLY)
REMINDER!
◆
◆
Do not attempt to disassemble the recoil
starter. If you do so, the very strong
spring inside will be suddenly ejected.
This can be very dangerous.
Do not extend the starter cord more than
45cm(18"). Do not abruptly release the
operating handle. Allow the cord to rewind
smoothly while still holding the handle.
Pull the operating handle straight out
when starting the engine, so that the cord
does not rub against the vehicle body or
engine.
This will help prevent the cord from being
damaged by abrasion or engine heat.
Try to avoid spilling fuel over the starter
unit and its cord. Some fuels have a
detrimental effect on these parts.

Glowplug life
Particularly in the case of very high performance
engines,
glowplugs must be regarded as expendable
Fit a plug suitable for the engine.
Use fuel containing a moderate percentage of
nitromethane unless more is essential for racing
events.
Do not run the engine too lean and do not leave the
battery connected while adjusting the needle.
However, plug life can be extended and engine
performance maintained by careful use, i.e.:
•
•
•
GLOWPLUG
The role of the glowplug
With a glowplug engine, ignition is initiated by the
application of a 1.5-volt power source. When the
battery is disconnected, the heat retained within the
combustion chamber remains sufficient to keep the
plug filament glowing, thereby continuing to keep the
engine running. Ignition timing is 'automatic' : under
reduced load, allowing higher rpm, the plug becomes
hotter and, appropriately, fires the fuel/air charge
earlier; conversely, at reduced rpm, the plug become
cooler and ignition is retarded.
Since the compatibility of glowplug and fuel may have
a marked effect on performance and reliability, it may
be worthwhile to choose the R/C type plug found
most suitable after tests.Recommended O.S. plugs
are A3, A5 and No8. Carefully fit plug finger-tight,
before final tightening with the correct size plug
wrench.
The starter prevents the engine from being
rotated in the wrong direction.The unit will
be damaged if you attempt to force the fly-
wheel in the opposite direction (i.e. clock-
wisewhen viewed fromthecrankshaft end).
NOTE:
Because, in the interests of personal safety,
dismantling of the starter mechanism is
strongly discouraged, the Recoil Starter is
available for replacement only as a pre-
assembled unit.
However, some related parts, such as
Starting Shaft and Rear Adaptor, are
obtainable separately. (See Parts List.)

Apart from when actually burned out, a plug may
need to be replaced because it no longer delivers its
best performance, such as when:
When to replace the glowplug
Filament surface has roughened and turned white.
Filament coil has become distorted.
Foreign matter has adhered to filament or plug
body has corroded.
Engine tends to cut out when idling.
Starting qualities deteriorate.

TOOLS, ACCESSORIES, etc.
The following items are necessary for operating the
engine.
FUEL
Use only top quality methanol-based model engine
fuel.For consistent performance and long engine life,
it is advisable to use fuel containing AT LEAST 18%
lubricant.Thisengineisdesignedtorunonbothlowand
high nitromethane content fuels,i.e. from mild mixtures
containing a few percent of nitromethane, up to high-
speed racing fuels containing 40% nitromethane.

paragraphs. When engines are run at very high speeds
and on high-nitro fuels, glowplug elements do not last
so long.
Model engine fuel is poisonous. Do not
allow it to come into contact with the eyes or
mouth. Always store it in a clearly marked
container and out of the reach of children.
Model engine fuel is also highly flammable.

The somewhat violent changes of vehicle attitude
that occur in off-road running, combined with the
fact that, in buggy type cars, the fuel tank is often
located some distance from the carburetor, means
that fuel 'head' at the carburetor can vary and upset
running.Therefore,it is recommended that a muffler
pressurized fuel feed system be used.
Never run your vehicle without fitting the air cleaner.
Dust and dirt that may otherwise be drawn into the
engine will rapidly shorten its life.

Use the same fuel as is to be employed for all initial
running and containing NOT LESS THAN 18%
lubricant.
Temporarily remove the glowplug to check that it
glows bright red when energized.
Open the Needle-Valve 2 turns from the fully closed
position.
Switch on the transmitter and

Next, disconnect the glowplug battery and try
running the car on the track. If the engine stalls, open
the throttle fractionally, but try to keep the engine
running as rich as possible: if it stops because of
being excessively over-rich, close the Needle-Valve

To stop the engine, close the throttle to idling speed,
then shut it off completely with the trim lever on the
transmitter. To cut off the fuel supply, pinch the fuel
delivery tube to the carburetor.
•
If the engine should need to be disassembled (e.g.
for cleaning or minor parts replacement) it is
advisable to return the Needle-Valve to the original
rich, starting setting and check whether further
running-in time is required before the car is raced
again. In the event of any major working parts (e,g,
piston/cylinder liner assembly) being replaced, the
complete running-in should be repeated.
Remember!
It is vitally important to set the
throttle at the correct position
before attempting to start the
engine.If the engine is
allowed to run with the
throttle too far open under
"no load" conditions, it will
rapidly overheat and may be seriously damaged.
Remember!
Repeat this procedure until 5 more tanks of fuel have
been consumed, during which time the throttle may
be opened for brief bursts of increased power. If the
engine stops at medium speeds, close the Mixture
Screw 45-90˚.
15

IF THE ENGINE FAILS TO START
Check the following:
Glowplug battery discharged or glowplug defunct.
Fuel not reaching carburettor.
Engine flooded. Do not over-prime. (This could also
cause hydraulic lock and damage the engine on
application of the electric starter.)
Remove glowplug, close needle-valve and apply
starter to pump out surplus fuel. At this time cover
the plug hole with a rag so that splashing out fuel
may not come into your eyes or mouth.
•
•
•
Run the vehicle (with throttle fully open) over the
longest available straight course, in order to observe
the model's speed. Next return the car to the starting
point, close the Needle-Valve 30˚ and repeat the
run, taking note of the improvement in performance.
Continue with further runs, gradually reducing the
Needle-Valve setting and aiming to achieve the
highest straight-line speed. Remember, however,
that, if the Needle-Valve is shut down too far, the
engine will overheat and, accompanied by visibly
diminished exhaust smoke, the model will lose
speed. At this point, throttle down immediately, stop
the vehicle and reopen the Needle-Valve 30˚.
Having established the optimum Needle-Valve
setting, check the Mixture Control Valve setting as
follows.
With the engine running, close the throttle and allow
it to idle for about five seconds, then reopen the
throttle fully. If, at this point, the engine puffs out an
excessive amount of smoke and the vehicle does
not accelerate smoothly and rapidly, it is probable
that the idling mixture is too rich.
FINAL ADJUSTMENT

•
MAX-15CV-X
16

In this case, turn the Mixture Control Valve
clockwise 45~90˚. If, on the other hand, the engine
tends to speed up momentarily and then cut out
abruptly when the throttle is opened,the idling
mixture is too lean. Correct this by turning the
Mixture Control Valve counter-clockwise 45~90˚.
Warning!
NOTE:
Mixture Control Valve adjustment should be made
in steps of not more than 45~90˚, carefully
checking the effect,on throttle response, of each
small adjustment.
Carry out adjustments patiently, under actual
running conditions, until the engine responds
quickly and positively to the throttle control.
Mixture adjustments (whether via the Mixture
Control Valve, or the Needle-Valve) cannot be
made accurately under 'no-load' conditions,
which, in any case, are not advised, since such
operation carries the risk of seriously damaging
the engine through over-revving and overheating.
•
•
With the optimum mixture control position, light
smoke is visible during high speed running,and the
engine revolutions increase smoothly during
acceleration. Remember that, if the engine is
operated with the fuel/air mixture slightly too lean, it
will overheat and run unevenly. As with all engines,
it is advisable to set both needle-valve and mixture
control screw very slightly on the rich side of the best
rpm setting, as a safety measure.
If the engine runs too fast with the throttle closed,
the throttle stop screw should be turned counter-
clockwise to allow the throttle opening to be
reduced.
•
•
•
Finally, beyond the nominal break-in period, a slight
readjustment toward a leaner needle setting may be
required to maintain performance.
CARBURETOR CLEANLINESS
The correct functioning of the carburetor depends on
its small fuel orifices remaining clear.
(See Care and Maintenance section on Page19.)
17

BALL LINK AND SLIDE VALVE EXTENSION
It is seldom necessary to separate the slide-valve
extension from the slide-valve itself. For cleaning,
withdraw this complete sub-assembly from the
carburetor body after removing the slide-valve guide
screw. Then wash with methanol or glow-fuel.
(Note: take care not to lose the guide screw;it is a
special one.)
When it is necessary to adjust the ball-link position,
loosen the ball-link retaining screw with a 2.5mm
hexagon key, re-align the ball-link and re-tughten the
screw firmly.
(In case of the 10C caburetor)
REALIGNMENT OF MIXTURE CONTROL VALVE
■
In the course of making carburetor adjustments, it is
just possible that the Mixture Control Valve may be
inadvertently screwed in or out too far and thereby
moved beyond its effective adjustment range. Its
basic position can be found by first rotating the
Mixture Control Valve until its slotted head is flush
with the carburetor body. The valve is then screwed in
exactly 2.5 turn to re-establish its neutral position.
Mixture Control Valve
Carburettor Body
First rotate the Mixture Control
Valve until its slotted head is

Then screw the valve in exactly
2.5 turn.
This is the standard position.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1.
2.
3.
The minute particles of foreign matter, that are
present in any fuel may, by accumulating and
partially obstructing fuel flow, cause engine
performance to become erratic and unreliable.
O.S. 'Super-Filters' (large and small) are available,
as optional extras, to deal with this problem.
One of these filters, fitted to the outlet tube inside
your refueling container, will prevent the entry of
foreign material into the fuel tank. It is also
recommended that a good in-line filter be installed
between the tank and carburettor.
Do not forget to clean the filters regularly to remove
dirt and lint that accumulate on the filter screens.
Also, clean the carburetor itself occasionally.
At the end of each operating session, drain out any
fuel that may remain in the fuel tank.
Afterwards,energize the glow-plug and try to restart
the engine, to burn off any fuel that may remain
inside the engine. Repeat this procedure until the
engine fails to fire. Do this while the engine is still
warm.
Then, inject some after-run oil into the engine, and
rotate the engine with an electric starter for 4 to 5
seconds to distribute the oil to all the working
parts.
Note:
5.
Do not inject after-run oil into the carburetor as
this may cause the O-rings inside the carburetor
to deteriorate. These procedures will reduce the
risks of starting difficulties or corrosion after a
period of storage.
Finally, when cleaning the exterior of the engine,
use methanol or kerosene. Do not use gasoline or
any solvent that might damage the silicone fuel
tubing.
Caution:
The rear crankshaft bearing of this engine uses a
special plastic retainer. If the front housing needs
to be heated to remove or replace the bearing, do
not allow the bearing to exceed 120˚C (248˚F),
otherwise it may be damaged and rendered
unserviceable.
