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
eyesormouth.Alwaysstore
it in a clearly marked con-
tainer and out of the reach
of children.
Model engine fuel is also
highly flammable. Keep it
away from an open flame,
excessive heat, sources of
sparks, or anything else
which might ignite it. Do not
smoke or allow anyone else
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.
Install an effective silencer (muffler).
Frequent close exposure to a noisy
exhaust (especially in the case of the
more 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 line 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.
•
Before starting the engine, always check
the tightness of all the screws and nuts
especially those of joint and movable
parts such as throttle arm. Missing
retightening the loose screws and nuts
often causes the parts breakage that is
capable of harming you.

ENGINE CONSTRUCTION
With this engine, the piston will
feel tight at the top of its stroke
(TDC) when the engine is cold.
This is normal. The cylinder bore
has a slight taper. The piston
and cylinder are designed to
achieve a perfect running
clearance when they reach
operating temperature.

NOTES WHEN APPLYING
AN ELECTRIC STARTER
Do not over-prime. This could
cause a hydraulic lock and damage
the engine on application of the
electric starter.
If over-primed, remove glowplug,
close needle-valve and apply
starter to pump out surplus fuel.
Cover the head with a rag to
prevent any pumped out fuel from
getting into your eyes.

GUARANTEE
This engine is constructed from the very
best materials available and to the very
highest engineering standards, using
the most advanced precision machinery.
However, the extremely high stresses
imposed by car racing operation under
very severe conditions, as well as
stresses which are exacerbated by the
use of powerful fuels containing very
high concentrations of nitromethane,
constitute hazards which are beyond a
manufacturer's control. Accordingly, we
regret that it is not possible to extend
our usual warranty terms to this
particular engine -i.e. no guarantee is
offered against material wear, or damage
resulting therefrom, in actual use.
As delivered, the engine has the
carburetor lightly fit into its intake.
Secure it changing its angle according
to the car chassis.
NOTE
Please do not run on a public street, this
could cause serious accidents, personal
injuries and/or propetry damage.
Please do not run near pedestrians or
small children.
Please do not run in small or confined
areas.
Please do not run where loud noises can
disturb others, such as hospitals and
residential areas.

FUEL
Generally, it is suggested that the user selects a fuel
that is commercially available for model two-stroke
engines and contains 10-30% nitromethane. As a
starting point, we recommend a fuel containing 20%
nitromethane, changing to a fuel containing more
nitro if necessary. When the brand of fuel is
changed, or the nitro content increased, it is
advisable to repeat the running-in procedure
referred to in the RUNNING-IN paragraphs. Please
note that with high-nitro fuels,
although power may be increased
for competition purposes, glowplug
elements do not last as long and
engine life will be shortened.

GLOWPLUG
The role of the glowplug
Glowplug life
Particularly in the case of very high performance
engines, glowplugs must be regarded as expendable
items. However, plug life can be extended and engine
performance maintained by careful use, i.e.:
Install 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.
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.
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.
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 P3 and P4.
Carefully install plug finger-tight, before
final tightening with the correct size plug
wrench.

The engine is fit with one each of 0.1mm and
0.2mm cylinder-head gasket when it leaves the
factory. Another 0.1mm head gasket is supplied
with the engine. You may add it at initial running-
in, when a glow plug tends to burn out due to high
temperature and / or high humidity or when you
prefer fuel economy to power.
INSTALLATION OF THE DUST CAP SET
If the engine is to be stored or out of use for a while,
install the included exhaust and carburetor dust caps
to prevent foreign matter from entering the engine.
Installing the glow plug. Insert P3 plug supplied
into heatsink-head carefully, making sure that
it is not cross-threaded before tightening firmly.
(All the O.S. T-Type plugs including the P3 are
not supplied with a washer.)

INSTALLATION OF THE CARBURETOR
As delivered, the engine has its carburetor
lightly installed in the intake boss. Secure it
as follows.
Loosen the retainer screw, rotate the
carburetor to its correct position and make
sure that it is pressed well down into the
intake boss, compressing the rubber gasket,
before retightening screw.

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 are in alignment with the mounting holes.
Chamfer inside edges of bearers.
Do not allow bottom
of crankcase to
touch chassis.
Note:
Be sure to use a collet supplied when use a
optional 28XZ Hyper Flywheel Set.
The engine bottom may interfere with chassis
of some models. In this case, file off the
chassis so that the engine may not interfere
with the chassis when it is installed.
NOTE
19
STARTING THE ENGINE & RUNNING-IN ('Breaking-in)
PRESSURIZED FUEL SYSTEM
!

Before starting the engine, always
check the tightness of all the screws
and nuts especially those of joint and
movable parts such as throttle arm.
Missing retightening the loose screws
and nuts often causes the parts break-
age that is capable of harming you.
Never run your vehicle without installing the air
cleaner. Dust and dirt that may otherwise be drawn
into the engine will rapidly shorten its life.
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.
Running- in is a procedure for an engine to come
close to actual running conditions (fuel, r.p.m.,
engine temperature, etc.).
Excessively rich running and prolonged low
speed running should be avoided. Prolonged low
speed running and low temperature running may
result in the oil in the fuel becoming gelled and
the piston/liner becoming stuck together.
RUNNING-IN ('Breaking-in)

20
The following procedure is suitable for this
engine when the O.S. T-2060WN tuned si-
lencer and a fuel containing up to 30% ni-
tromethane are used.
Fill the tank completely with fuel.
Temporarily remove the glowplug to check
that it glows bright red when energized.
Glow Plug Igniter

When the engines does not start or stops
right after being started, try the followings.
Set the needle-valve approx. 2.5 turns open
from the fully closed position. Do not force
the needlevalve to turn beyond a lightly
closed position.

22
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 rich,
close the Needle-Valve 30˚ and try again.
Run the car on the track until one tank of fuel
has been consumed, then close the Needle-
Valve 30˚ and run the car for another full tank
of fuel. Repeat this procedure until approx. 2
liters 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˚.
Attention:
throttle trigger
If the engine is allowed to run with the throttle
too far open under ''no load'' conditions (i.e.
with the driving wheels not in contact with the
ground) it will rapidly over-heat and may be
seriously damaged.
It is vitally important to set the
throttle at the correct position
before starting the engine.
When the engine starts, warm it up by
repeatedly increasing the rpm to medium
speed and back again to a fast idle with the
mixture set very rich, the glowplug
connected, and the driving wheels clear of
the ground. The rich mixture will provide
adequate lubrrication and cooling indicated
by profuse exhaust smoke.
23

when starting the engine.
Close the needle-valve approx.
30˚ after running the vehicle for
one full tank of fuel.
Repeat this procedure several
times.

Note:
In the event of any major working parts
(e.g. piston/cylinder liner assembly) being
replaced or the fuel being changed,
especially to high nitro fuel, the complete
running-in should be repeated.
Warning!
Do not touch rotating parts, engine and si-
lencer when stopping the engine as they
become very hot, and contact with them
may result in a serious burn.
To stop the engine, close the throttle to idle
speed and shut it off completely with the trim
lever on the transmitter then cut off the fuel
supply by pinching the fuel delivery tube to
the carburetor.

Needle Valve Metering Needle
More fuel Less fuel More fuel Less fuel
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, accompanied by visibly
diminished exhaust smoke and the model
will lose speed. At this point, throttle down
immediately, stop the vehicle and reopen the
Needle-Valve 45-90˚.
Final adjustment should be carried out only
after the running-in has been completed.
25
Warning!
Mixture adjustments (whether via the Metering
Needle, 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 rpm increases
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 the needle-valve and
metering needle slightly on the rich side of
the best rpm setting, as a safety measure.
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
idle mixture is too rich. In this case, turn the
Metering Needle 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 idle mixture is too
lean. Correct this by turning the Metering
Needle counter-clockwise 45-90˚.
NOTE:
Metering Needle 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.
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.

26
Finally, beyond the nominal break-in period,
a slight readjustment toward a leaner needle
setting may be required to maintain
maximum performance.
CARBURETOR CLEANLINESS
The correct functioning of the carburetor
depends on its small fuel orifices remaining
clear.

too far and thereby moved beyond its
effective adjustment range. The basic
positions can be found by rotating the
Metering Needle until its slotted head is flush

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 installed to the pickup
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
carburetor.
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.
4. 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:
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.

28
Dirt and dust may lodge in marked places.
5.Finally, when cleaning the exterior of the
engine, use methanol or a household
cleaning agent. Do not use gasoline,
kerosene, or any petroleum based chemical
which can damage silicone fuel tubing.
29
