Install four fresh “AA” batteries in the battery holder. Be sure to follow the polarity configuration molded into the battery holder. 5.

PROPELLER DEPTH TRIM ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE MISS VEGAS DEUCE Here are some of the important factors that affect the performance of a hydroplane. PROPELLERS The FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) prop that comes with your Miss Vegas Deuce is about the best overall prop for daily running. If your prop has a ding or chip in a blade, you need to replace it with a new one before you run the boat again.
SUPERTIGRE .18 MARINE ENGINE Important: Please fully read these instructions before operating your engine. These instructions have been written so that you may get the greatest satisfaction from the operation of your new engine. SPECIFICATIONS: ABC Piston and Sleeve Bore: .662" Stroke: .535" Displacement: .184ci (3cc) Power Output: 1.
STARTING YOUR ENGINE: RUNNING THE MISS VEGAS DEUCE PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO DO THE FOLLOWING. Using the provided 12mm and 14mm wrenches, loosen the cable coupler and slide the cable out the back of the boat. Make sure there is adequate grease on the shaft (see page 11). Reinstall the cable leaving about 3mm [1/8"] between the back of the strut and the front of the drive dog. Tighten the cable coupler making sure it is tight.
ENGINE BREAK IN: It can be somewhat difficult to tune and break in a marine glow engine, as tuning and break-in are best done with the boat on the water. Take your time and do not hurry the break in. If you operate the engine too lean in the early break-in stages, you could damage it. Factory needle settings: HSN: 4 turns out LSN: 2-1/2 turns out NOTE: Due to atmosphere changes the factory needle setting could be too rich or too lean.
GET TO KNOW THE SOUNDS AND SIGHTS OF YOUR NITRO MARINE ENGINE: • Rich needle setting means less than maximum RPM. The engine will operate with a break in the exhaust note. Also take note that when rich, your engine is going to use more fuel than normal and you’re going to end up with a lot of oil and smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. WAYS TO ENSURE A LONG LIFE FOR YOUR ENGINE: • Keep your engine clean. Dirt will act as insulation on an engine. It will not be able to shed heat as easily.
MAINTENANCE When you are through operating your boat for the day, be sure to perform these basic maintenance procedures. This will prolong the life of the Miss Vegas Deuce and help to ensure trouble-free running. ENGINE MAINTENANCE Drain the tank of any remaining fuel. Add some after-run oil to the engine to protect the internal parts. We recommend removing the glow plug, opening the carburetor all the way, and placing 10–12 drops of after-run oil down the barrel of the carburetor.
