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 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

Repeat this procedure several

Needle
Note:
If the engine should need to be disassem-
bled (e.g. for cleaning or minor parts re-
placement), it is advisable to return the nee-
dle-valve to the original rich, starting set-
ting 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 or the fuel being changed,
especially to high nitro fuel, the complete
running-in should be repeated.
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.
Warning!
Do not touch rotating
parts, engine and silen-
cer when stopping the
engine as they become
very hot, and contact
with them may result in
a serious burn.
