EN • Always use the throttle linkage to close the carburetor fully or turn off the ignition power switch to stop the engine. • Never use hands, fingers, or any other body part to stop the propeller. • Never throw any object into a propeller to stop it. • Never run the engine in the vicinity of loose small objects, such as gravel or sand, to avoid the propeller uncontrollably throwing such materials.

EN Installing the Muffler 1. Put a lock washer on each of the muffler screws. Push the muffler screws through the cylinder head. 2. Place the muffler gasket over the engine mounting screws. 3. Align the muffler with the exhaust opening and the muffler mounting screws. 4. Tighten the muffler screws. The muffler mounting accessory package includes mounting screws (2), lock washers (2), muffler gaskets (2) and L-wrenches (2). Important: Tighten the muffler screws after the first few tanks of fuel.
EN Adjusting the Throttle Opening 1. Lower the throttle and center the throttle trim. 4. Move the throttle stick and throttle trim down to confirm the throttle closes. 2. Adjust the length of the throttle linkage until 5. If you reversed the throttle channel in your the throttle is open 1mm. transmitter and you are using a 2.4GHz radio 3. Move the throttle stick up to confirm the system, you must re-bind your radio system throttle opens. If the throttle does not to set the correct failsafe position.
EN Connecting the Electronic Ignition The Evolution Electronic Ignition Assembly is designed and engineered specifically for the small block engine series. It is smaller and lighter so it fits into tighter spaces of the airplanes the engines are designed to power. The battery voltage required is between 4.8V (4-cell Ni-MH pack) and 8.4V (2S Li-Po battery) and no voltage regulators are needed with any of these batteries. We recommend a 2S Li-Fe or Li-Po battery with a capacity of at least 800mAh.
EN Fuel Do not use leaner than a 20:1 gas/oil ratio or the warranty on your engine will be voided. To properly mix the fuel, add 6.75 oz of high quality 2-stroke oil to one gallon (or 53 mL of oil to one liter) of 87–93 octane fuel. This engine requires a mix of 20:1 gas to oil lubricant ratio for break-in and normal operation. The needle bearing at the bottom end of the conrod depends upon this lubricant ratio to operate properly.
EN Engine Break-in Your new engine needs to be broken in to ensure long life of all components. The piston and liner construction is ABC (Aluminum piston, Brass Chromed liner), which requires a specific break-in procedure that cannot be fully accomplished with bench runs. Because the ABC piston and liner rely on the close fit of the piston to the liner to provide the compression seal, the engines are built with a taper to the liner.
EN Telemetry Telemetry is a huge asset to help you tune your engine. The ignition module is even capable of communicating with Spektrum™ telemetry systems directly so you won’t have to add an additional RPM sensor. You will need to connect the Evolution Ignition Telemetry Adapter (EVOA113) between the RPM port on the ignition unit and the RPM port on your Spektrum telemetry module in order to utilize this feature. Telemetry systems other than Spektrum may require a dedicated RPM sensor.
EN High-Speed Needle Adjustment Needle adjustments need to be made in small increments. It may take 5 seconds or more before you will notice a change in your engine after making adjustments. Be patient. Use a tachometer, this is a very important part of properly setting your high-speed needle valve. The procedure below is for setting the needles prior to flight. The final adjustments need to be made after noting the performance in the air. 1.
EN Low-Speed Needle Adjustment If you have properly set the idle needle, the low-speed setting should be within 1/16th of a turn from perfect. Remember we are talking about minute amounts of fuel going through the carburetor, any adjustments you now make to the idle needle should be very small. Take into consideration the length in service (e.g. break-in time) and the size of propeller you are using. In the beginning, use a smaller propeller early in the break-in process.
EN Troubleshooting Guide If the Engine Does Not Start • Check and use a new spark plug if needed. • Check fuel lines. • Check for proper mechanical function by turning the engine over. • Check that the carburetor is correctly installed. • Reset the needle valves to the factory settings. High-speed 2.25 turns out, Lowspeed 4.25 turns out when the throttle barrel is 1.5mm open.
