Excellent video and information. Atip on after run oil; you can use Marvel mystery oil as an after run oil. I use it all of the time and had no problems with it and will save a load of money. Also, don't forget to run the engine dry of all fuel after you drain the fuel out of the tank at the end of the flight. Methonal attracts moisture and can rust out an engine if left inside the engine. Hope this helps out too. Happy flying.

Never had a "fueling valve" on any inverted engine, & never had one flood yet. Make sure throttle is fully shut & fuel will flow to the tank ok. Also, make sure the pressure pipe is clear. This will allow air to flow out of the tank rather than push the fuel out to the carb. Fill the tank nice & steady, again, this will allow the air to escape rather than build up pressure & flood the carb. I have found a four stroke plug works better in inverted engines. The element is kept clear of the head & doesn't get bogged by the fuel.

When an engine is inverted, you often have to lower the fuel tank to keep the center line of the tank in line with the carb. If it's too high then you may be getting fuel syphoning out of the tank.

Thank you.
@Luvtoflyhelis7 жыл бұрын
Hello, it's a fuel fill valve that you need, i put the link to the one i use on my inverted nitro engines. Also after filling the tank leave your throttle trim on your radio all the way down so the the throttle barrel is closed untill you ate ready to start the engine, sometimes if your trim is set to "run" position the fuel will leak into the engine while setting there, the fuel valve forms a plug to the carb line while the fuel probe is pluged in while filling but when you pull the prob out after filling the the carb line is open so thats why you want to leave your trim in closed position to keep fuel from seeping into the carb until you are ready to start the engine.

I have yet to buy my first nitro helicopter, but I've been practicing auto rotation in the simulator, so that when I do buy one and when the engine does die (and it likely will at some point), hopefully I won't be completely screwed.

When going from 2-1/2 clicks to rich, then clicking up to lean till the engine smooths out and continue clicking until the engine is too lean, then backing off to rich, then just two clicks to lean again. All this is done at Full Throttle ? Seems like a long time at Full Throttle ? Should I be concerned with the Low and High End RPM values during this procedure?
@Luvtoflyhelis8 жыл бұрын
No need to worry about rpm while setting this, the rpm range on low end is just a suggestion, i don't worry about low end rpm, i like to set mine to the idle i prefer and you do that with your trim and sub trim not the low end neddle, hope this helps
@franknapolitano91448 жыл бұрын
I've been planning to buy the Magnum XL 52 RFS Blue Four Stroke. I read through the tuning and break in procedure on a PDF file and although your tuning suggestion is different from what the Magnum instructions indicate, it seems to me that your instructions in doing this is much easier and simple from the Magnum Instructions. ** Before going through the procedure that you suggested, by tuning the High Speed needle to the Mid Way Point ( between Rich and Lean = just on the Rich Side ), should I just allow the new engine to run at the 2-1/2 turns to Rich for 5 minutes at idle, then shut down and allow the engine cool off first, before going full throttle to tune ? I ask because the engine would be new out of the box.

Hi there great video! I'm hoping you can help me, I've bought a second hand os max 55 ax but i can't get it to run properly I think someone has messed around with the low end tickover screw. Have you any idea how turns it should be? Many thanks Chance.
@Luvtoflyhelis8 жыл бұрын
Hi Chance, i'm really sorry for getting back to you so late, i've had a really hard week, lost my best little buddy in the world last Sunday night, my litte long hair Dachshund Gopher. Anyway the low end neddle should be turned out until it is flush with the crack case, this is approxamently the factory setting, when the low end is set right you should be able to let it idle for about a min then be able to throttle it up quickly without it bogging or dieing, if it's to rich it will die or bog down and hesitate before finally picking up rpm. Also if there is any ait leak at all the engine will act the same way, it will die when trying to go from low speed to full throttle, even a front barring seal can leak air and cause this, check all your fuel lines and tank stopper and make sure no air is getting in, look at the front of the engine as it is running and see if there is any fuel drip coming out around the barring. Hope this helps my friend and again so sorry for getting back to you so late, take care, Terry

Then you are getting moisture in your fuel, you have to store your nitro in a cool room out of sunlight, you cannot set it on concrete like a garage floor or even out on the ground for any length of time or it will draw moisture into your jung of fuel, i have been flying nitro for over 8 years now and i have never had one rust and i have never used a drop of after run oil, i i see people running there carb dry after flying, if you do this then it will rust but if you leave what little fuel is in the carb and engine then the alcohol evaperates and leaves the oil content in the engine, never had one rust in 8 years.

I would say set both high and low back to factory settings and start from there, it doesn't take much tuning to get it out of wack so far it won't run, there are many other factors to look at as well, could be an air leak in a fuel line, fuel tank, front baring seal could be bad and leaking air, it would be hard for me to say without seeing the engine but start by setting it back to factory settings and see what happens.

You need to use a high quality nitro fuel like 15% Cool Power or Wildcat, you should never put motorcycle oil in it, my advise is flush it out really good, put a new glow plug in it and get some good nitro fuel and try that, start your high speed neddle at 2-1/4 turns out from closed, this will be running rich at this setting and then work it in clockwise a little at a time untill you get the right mixture, if it still won't run or dies then you have some other problem like an air leak around the front barring or maybe in the carburater, there is also a low speed needle you need to check as well, generaly this should be set so the screw head is flush with the engine casing to start with.
