I have a few of these engines... here is my experience

- 80% meth and 20% castor. a little nitro will help.
- open the high speed needle about 4-4.5 turns
- the air bleed lsn needs to be turned in till wherever it goes
- priming up needs more turns than OS. ensure fuel is being sucked into the carb. once it reaches the carb opening, atleast 6-7 turns, you will feel the engine is oiled up
- these engines need about 5-6 tanks to break in and need a highly rich setting during break in
- keep a starter ready, flipping by hand will be tedious
- starting needs a rather strong flip, bring it to the compression and give it a strong tight sudden flip, it should start
- everytime you start, you have to richen and after starting adjust the mixture
- these engines do not start easily when hot and oiled up
- the carb is made of some composite material, overtightening the screws will kill the threads, so do not overtighten the needle socket or other screws

All the best
GS
