◇Needlereferenceposition(Setafterinitialbreak-in)
●Starttheengineafteradjustingtheneedletothefollowingreferencevalue.
●Mainneedle：Approx.1+1/4~1+1/2turnsCCWfromfullyclosed
●Slowneedle：Approx.8turnsCCWfromfullyclosed(Thenthrottlevalve
shouldbefullyclosed)
●Actually,thebestpositionoftheneedlesvarydependingontheprop,
temperature,humidityandsoon.Pleaseadjustasnecessaryafterobserving
theengineperformanceduringflight.
◇Peakadjustment
●Afterstartingtheengine,warmupforapprox.30secondsatlowspeed.
●Achievethepeakatfullthrottle.
→TurnthemainneedleCWgraduallytothepositionwheretheRPMisgreatest(thepeak).ContinuingtoturntheneedleCWpastthepeak
couldleadtoseizuresoturnitslowlyandcarefully.IftheRPMsuddenlydecreasesafterpassingthepeak,instantlyturnthemainneedle
CCWtoagainincreasetheRPM.Otherwiseitcoulddamagetheengineseriously.
●OnceachievingpeakRPM,returnthethrottletolowspeed.Makeanoteofthepositionofmainneedleatthepeakatthattime.(Howmany
turnsyoudidCWbasedonthereferencevalue.)
◇SlowneedleAdjustment
●AfterachievingpeakRPM,nextisslowneedleadjustment.OpenthethrottlefromlowRPMtofullthrottlequickly.
●IftheenginehesitatesforamomentorstallsbeforetheenginereachesmaxRPM,Itʼsbecausethemixtureistoolean.Thenturntheslow
needleCCWslightly.
●IftheengineisslowtoreachpeakRPM(fullthrottleset),itʼsbecausethemixtureistoorich.ThenturntheslowneedleCWslightly.
●AdjusttheslowneedleasaboveuntiltheRPMfollowsthethrottlemovementsmoothly.Theimportantpointistoadjusttheslowneedle
AFTERthemainneedlehasbeenadjustedtoitspeak.
●Nowbreak-inatgroundlevelisdone.Adjusttappetsbythemethoddescribedlater.
◇Pre-flight/Flightadjustment
●Whentheslowneedleadjustmentisdone,checktheresponsebyrevvingupfromlowspeedtofullthrottlequicklyseveraltimes.
●OpenthethrottlefullyandturnthemainneedleCCWapprox.60〜90degreesfromthepeakposition.Thisistomakethefuelmixturericher
intheairwheretheRPMgethigherthanontheground.
●Afteralladjustmentsaremade,flyyouraircraftandfinetunetheengineaccordingtothesituation.Basicallytuningshouldbedonewiththe
mainneedle.Readjustmentoftheslowneedleisrarelyneededifthefirstadjustmentoftheslowneedlehasbeendonesuccessfully.
3.Propeller
●RecommendedpropellerisAPC17x6.Largersizeorgreaterpitchcancauseenginebrokenduetooverload.
●Useawell-balancedone.Neverusethepropellerthathasbeenscratchedordamagedevenifslightly.
●Asthepropelleriscompressedslightly,tightenthepropellernuteveryhourofoperation.
4.Break-inMOSTIMPORTANT!!
●Prop-recommendation:APC-17x6.
●Use15:1fuel:oilratioforbreak-in.
●Nevermakethefuelmixtureleanduringbreak-in.Itcouldcauseseizureevenduringidlingor
low-speedrunning.
●Beforestartingtheengine,openthemainneedleApprox.1+1/2turnsfromfullyclosed.
●Starttheengine(usingastarterisrecommendedforsafety).
●Runforabout30secondsatlowspeedtowarmup.
●Openthrottlegraduallyuptofull.InthemeantimeturnthemainneedleCCW.Continuetoturnthe
mainneedleCCWuntiljustbeforeenginestopskeepingthethrottleopenedfully.
●Runinthisveryrichconditionfor1literoffuel.
●Now“initial”break-inisdone.
