decre ases yo ur engi ne’s lifetime . Ther efore do never exceed 36% nit ro.

A good air ﬁ lter is very importa nt for the lif e o f your engine. Never run without an air ﬁ lter, as

quick and permane nt damage will result! Don’t forge t to impregn ate the air ﬁ lter with a suita ble

oil before usage. Carefully clean the airﬁ lter a t leas t af ter every t enth tank. Repla ce the airﬁ l ter

Use only standard sty le glow- plugs for this engine. We recommend usi ng our line of high-q uality

LRP Plati num / Iridium glowp lugs

(No. 35030 - No. 3506 0

, ava ilabe as R3 to R6). Check them

freq uently and never run with wor n-out or old glow-p lugs since they could damage yo ur engine.

They turn dull when your engine was too lean and should be replaced. T hey should stay bright

like chrome. If t he g lowplugs wear out too fast, an additional 0.1mm sh im betwe en burnr oom

and liner is recommend ed. Whenever you have trouble with the engine stalling for no reason,

replace the glow-plug ﬁ rst!

Dear Cu stomer,

hank you for your trust in this LRP produc t. By purc hasing a LRP nitro engine, you have choosen

a high -per formance and highly sophisticated product, which doesn´t make any compromise

between ma ximum perf ormance and easy tun e

abili ty. We hope you enjoy your new engine.

Pleas e r ead the following instruction s

to ensure, t hat your LRP Z.28R Spec.3 P ulls tar t engine

always works up to your full satisf action.

Pleas e read and under stand these i nstructions comp letely before you use this produc t!

With operating th is product

, you accept the L RP warrant y terms .

Never run without a pipe since this will cause excess ive overheating and may damage your

engine. A good pipe has a very huge effect on the per formance of a 2-st roke eng ine. For th e LRP

for maximum p erforman ce.

We reco mmend a real head cl eara nce betwee n pist on and b urnr oom of about 0.75mm (0.029“)

We sugge st to start with 0.20mm (0.008“) shims underneath the combustion chamber. You

may want to ad just the shims depending on nitro-conte nt (see table) or t rack layout. Large

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDETUNING

AFTER RUN

MAINTENANCE

REPAIR PROCEDURES /

LIMITED WARRANTY

It never hur ts to have the mixture too r ich, but NEVER let the mixtu re get t oo lean. Always tune

from rich to lean. If in doubt , riche n it up ﬁ r st! Never try to tune a cold engine, run 3-5 minutes to

get the engine up to run ning te mper ature before doing any adjustme nts!

Basic t uning procedure is as follows:

2. Start tuning you r engin e with t he set tings too rich.

3. Always tune main- speed needl e (top-end ) ﬁ r st.

4. Tune mid-ran ge needle nex t.

5. Reset idle speed screw.

Proce dure:

2. Go to the track with the main-needle s et too r ich, there should be heav y smoke coming from

the mufﬂ er now.

3. Tune the engine by l eanin g the main-needle 1/ 8 turn at a time (turn clockw ise).

- Your goal w ill be that the e ngine w ill jus t reach maximum RPM on the st raightawa y.

- Open the main-needle again by an 1/8 turn (turn counter-cl ockw ise) whe n you have reac hed

that point. Th is should be the per fect setting for the main-needle (tempe rature of 110-130°C /

230-266°F).

- If the main-ne edle is se t too lean, the engine will overheat and wil l not acce lera te smoothly.

If this happens, immed iately stop the engin e and rich en the mai n-needle (count erclo ck-

wise) 1/4 turn befor e a new at temp t.

4. Adjust the mid-range needle now. Run 3 full laps, s top the c ar near you and let it idle for

5secs . „Push off“. It should have slightly richen ed up (idle rpm gets lower), but still accelerate

quick ly. If it died bef ore the 5secs, check t he foll owing :

- If th e rpm constantly decreas es and ﬁ nally the engine stops , the mid-r ange needle is too

rich.

- If the idle-speed i ncreases during idle, the mid-r ange needle is too lean.

5. You may have to re-adjust t he idle-speed now. If it idles too high , the clutch may not relea se

compl etel y and you will lose „snap“ off the corner s. If it idles too low, it may stall at the start ,

or at the end of th e straight away when you release the thr ott le.

Ways to measure t he engi ne temp erature:

ture reading. Plac e the gau ge dire ctly over the e ngine p ointed at the g low plu g.

shoul d just slowly boil of f (2-3se cs). I t should not dan ce around as if it were on a hot griddle,

nor sho uld it lay ther e and steam.

Use after-run oil to keep everything lubr icated after you have ﬁ nishe d your day. Af ter-run oil

helps fo r an easy start the nex t time and pr otects your int ernals against rust . Use only „a fter-run

oil“ speciall y formu lated for R/C engines. Do no t use silicone shock oil or similar as th ey will

serio usly harm your engine. We recommend to use our LRP After-Run oil (No. 37910), which you

shoul d use regular ly af ter using your e ngine .

Proce dure:

First let the tank run compl etel y emp ty at idle until i t runs out of fuel (tr y re -starting it several

times ), next pu t a few drops down the open carbureto r and a few drops down the glow plug hol e.

Spin it over wit h the Pullstart at least 5 t imes an d you are d one.

Treat your engine w ith care and check it frequentl y. This engine will rev up to 3 3.500 RPM and

any fault at such high RPM can cause serious damage. All moving parts inside th e engine are

subject to wear, you must know if a piston/lin er/co nrod has wo rn out and i f they need t o b e

replaced. If you replace one part, please check if every thing else is still in good shape at the

same t ime. I f you only change one part and other par ts are in bad shape, there’s the possibility

that there will be a new failure soon !

Some import ant matter s:

the engine cou ld make c onsiderable damage.

crankshaf t is still round and at a g ood siz e. If not, also repla ce the cr ankshaft.
