Engine startup
by Randy Randolph
All small engines like high-nitro (at least 15-
percent) fuel. The starting procedure for
engines such as the Cox Tee Dee series,
Norvel and Thunder Tiger is much like that of
any other engine with a front-intake carbure-
tor: fuel, choke and flip; but with some V2A
engines, a few steps make the initial startup
unique.
The Cox reed valve engines such as the
Pee Wee .020, the Black Widow .049, the
Babe Bee .049 and the Killer Bee .049 are a
little different! For these engines, you must
install a 6x3 prop, close the needle valve,
open it three turns, prime it with a drop or
two of fuel through the exhaust ports, con-
nect the glow plug and use the spring starter
in the front of the engine to flip the prop. By
design, reed-valve engines can run in either
direction with ease, and the spring makes it
easy for them to start in the right direction.
These engines start almost automatically;
once they have started, you simply adjust the
needle as with any glow engine.
