Il will buy another gas (using Essence F and unleaded 98 currently) but fear it won't change anything... Could your give me as an indication how much you open the needle valve ? 1/4, 1/2... more ? If the engine starts then stops after a few seconds (that happends on my other engines) should I open or close it a little ?

That does not explain where this e,gine come from and the lack of compression without ignition... Hit & Miss...tery 😁 Amicalement, Raphaël

    ll these kits I've seen so far produce a spark for every revolution, wasting battery power in slow mode. I'd like to see one what works like the full size engines, which only spark when it's on compression strike with the exhaust valve closed, like the full size magneto ignition engines do.

    • @steam212

      This model does not fire every revolution like most of others. It closes a set of points to fire the coil only when the governor releases the lockout for the exhaust valve to close.
