These 4 stroke engines actually start much easier if you flip the prop backwards. The OS engines actually instruct you to flip the prop backwards in the manual. The valvetrain will not allow it to run backwards and the recoil from firing will snap the prop quickly back the other direction.

I did flood it to much upon starting but thank you I have heard that from other places to
☺️👍thank you for the tip

[@paradiselost9946]

well, at least you use a stick. starters are silly.
as pointed out... flip them backwards. prime, turn back to compression, then a light flick and they should start straight up...
love saitos, but also hate saitos. that cam spur gear sound drives me nuts but its ok when theyre flying...
OS runs a helical, much quieter.

Is the fuel regular gas with 15% oil or is it nitro ?

[@rcsendandblast1579]

That is an excellent question.
These engines are a 4 stroke motor. Built to perfection.
This run is on
Morgan’s Cool Power Fully synthetic model engine fuel. 15 percent oil.
the rest synthetics castor and nitromethane
Thanks for asking 👊😎
