a. To start an engine, first remove the glow plug with the included wrench.
b. Check the glow plug by plugging it into the glow plug igniter. The glow plug element should light up
brightly. If it lights up dimly, then the glow plug igniter is low (and it needs recharging). If it doesn't
light up, or the plug element looks distorted, then the glow plug is bad (replace with new one). After
checking, reinstall the glow plug.
The glow plug used for this engine can be: Thunder Tiger 9281, McCoy #9 / #59,
Novarossi C4S / C5S / C6S,OS #8 / #A3 / #A5, and Picco P6S / P7S.
c. With the radio off, manually turn the servo to open the carburetor (open throttle).
d. Plug the tuned pipe exhaust tip.
e. Keeping the exhaust tip plugged, pull on the engine's starter. Keep doing it until fuel reaches engine's
carburetor, then pull it 3 more times to prime the engine.
f. Manually return the servo back to neutral.
