USER GUIDE

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the newest
and one of the most technically advanced 2-stroke
model airplane engines in the world. Whether
you are new to the sport of model aviation or an
experienced flier, you will enjoy the features of the
new Evolution® Engines Control Line (CL) Engine.

The Evolution CL Engine is designed to be the most
powerful yet controllable in its class, extremely
easy to start and operate, and provide years of
enjoyable service. It incorporates many unique
design features, such as our Set Right™ needle

Venturi

valve assembly. Every feature is designed to ensure
success with your new engine.

This user’s guide is intended to provide the basic
information to operate and maintain your Evolution
CL Engine.

Important: While the Evolution engine is extremely
easy to operate, if this is your first experience flying
a model airplane, it is highly recommended that
you have the help of an experienced modeler during
the first few flights. Your local hobby store or flying
club can put you in touch with an experienced pilot
in your area.

Mounting the Engine

Securely tighten all engine mounting screws and re-check tightness
before each flying session.

All model airplanes include an engine mount of some
type. It is extremely important that the engine be securely
mounted to the airplane’s engine mount. Follow the
instructions included with the airplane for mounting
the engine.

Important: Before each flying session, check that all
engine mounting screws are securely tightened.

Installing the Muffler

The muffler mounting accessory package includes mounting screws
(2), lock washers (2), muffler gaskets (2) and an L- wrench.

Using the included muffler mounting screws and lock
washers, attach your choice muffler with the included
hex wrench. Be sure the lock washers are placed over the
screws and that one gasket is placed between the muffler
and the engine. A second gasket is included as a spare.
Securely tighten both screws with moderate torque. The
exhaust outlet of the muffler can be rotated to allow the
exhaust outlet to be repositioned for various applications.

1. Loosen the lock nut on the back of the muffler and then
loosen the assembly screw.

2. Rotate the rear half of the muffler to the desired
position.

3. Tighten the assembly screw first and then tighten the
lock nut.

Important: After five runs, retighten the muffler
mounting screws and head bolt. Heat and vibration from
these first few runs can cause the gasket to compress.
Once the muffler screws are re-tightened, they will
remain tight and leak-free until the muffler is removed.
Also, if you have chosen the tube style muffler, tighten the
muffler thru-bolt at this time as well—loosen the lock
nut on the back of the muffler, tighten the thru-bolt via
the screwhead at the front of the muffler then retighten
the lock nut at the rear.

Attaching the Propeller and Spinner

Attaching the Fuel Lines

Using medium silicone fuel tubing, attach the fuel tank’s
clunk line to the fuel nipple. This line will supply fuel to
the engine. Attach the vent line to the muffler pressure
nipple. This line pressurizes the fuel tank with the muffler
pressure, creating consistent fuel flow, regardless of the
airplane’s attitude.

Securely tighten the prop nut using an adjustable wrench.

If you are using an aftermarket spinner nut, install the
propeller, the prop washer and then the prop nut in that
order (see photo). Securely tighten the prop nut using
whatever is most suitable to tighten the spinner nut (if
you are using one). In the photo above we are using a
spinner nut only.

Starting the Evolution Engine

Fuel

The Evolution engine comes baseline adjusted from the
factory. We recommend using high quality Cool Power
Omega or Power Master fuels containing 5 to 10% Nitro.
The Evolution engine has been test run using these fuels.
If another brand of fuel is used, it may be necessary to
slightly adjust the needle valves to compensate for the
differences in fuel.

Glow Plug

The Evolution engine comes with a specially designed
“Super Plug”. The plug’s unique shape directs incoming
fuel/air mixture away from the plug element. When
replacing the plug, be sure to replace it with another
Evolution 2-4 stroke Super Plug (EVOGP1).

Starting the Engine

Step 1. Fill the tank with the above-mentioned 5 or

10% fuel.

Step 2. Reattach the fuel lines, making sure the vent

and clunk line are attached to the fuel nipple
and the muffler pressure nipple.

Caution: Do not attach the glow driver yet.

Step 3. Place your thumb over the venturi and flip the
