O.S. Engines 12XZ User Manual

O.S. SPEED 12XZ Spec.
It is of vital importance, before attempting to operate your engine, to read the general 'SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS' in the following section and to strictly adhere to the advice contained therein.
Also, please study the entire contents of this instruction manual, so as to familiarize yourself with the controls and other features of the engine.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS ABOUT YOUR O.S. ENGINE
Remember that your engine is not a " toy ", but a highly efficient internal-combustion machine whose power is capable of harming you, or others, if it is misused or abused. As owner, you, alone, are responsible for the safe operation of your engine, so act with discretion and care at all times. If at some future date, your O.S. engine is acquired by another person, we would respectfully request that these instructions are also passed on to its new owner.
WARNINGS
These cover events which might involve serious (in extreme circumstances, even fatal) injury.
NOTES
These cover the many other possibilities, generally less obvious sources of danger, but which, under certain circumstances, may also cause damage or injury.
With this engine, the piston will feel tight at the top of its stroke (TDC) when the engine is cold. This is normal. The cylinder bore has a slight taper. The piston and cylinder are designed to achieve a perfect running clearance when they reach operating temperature.
When the engine is cold.

Do not over-prime. This could cause a hydraulic lock and damage the engine on application of the electric starter. If over-primed, remove glowplug, close needle-valve and apply starter to pump out surplus fuel. Cover the head with a rag to prevent any pumped out fuel from getting into your eyes.
Piston
When the engine is hot.
WARNINGS
Model engine fuel is poisonous. Do not allow it to come into contact with the eyes or mouth. Always store it in a clearly marked container and out of the reach of children.
Model engine fuel is also highly flammable. Keep it away from open flame, excessive heat, sources of sparks, or anything else which might ignite it. Do not smoke or allow anyone else to smoke, near to it.
Model engines generate considerable heat. Do not touch any part of your engine until it has cooled. Contact with the muffler (silencer), cylinder head or exhaust header pipe, in particular, may result in a serious burn.
Never operate your engine in an enclosed space. Model engines, like automobile engines, exhaust deadly carbon-monoxide. Run your engine only in an open area.
NOTES
This engine is intended for model cars. Do not attempt to use it for any other purpose.
Mount the engine in your model securely, following the manufacturers' recommendations, using appropriate screws and locknuts.
NOTES ON OPERATION
ABOUT THE WARRANTY Since this is a special SPEED version, individual special parts are available only for limited period (one year after finishing the production). Also, the engine is free of warranty due to damage and/or wear occurred during running.
While Operating
Please do not run on a public street, this could cause serious accidents, personal injuries and/or propetry damage.
Please do not run near pedestrians or small children.
Please do not run in small or confined areas.
Please do not run where loud noises can disturb others, such as hospitals and residential areas.
NOTE As delivered, the engine has the carburetor lightly fit into its intake. Secure it changing its angle according to the car chassis.
ABOUT THE ENGINE
The O.S. SPEED 12XZspec is a high performance engine meeting IFMAR specification produced by O.S.’s SPEED TEAM technicians. Major parts such as cylinder & piston assembly, crankshaft and crankcase are have been refined to have a powerful potential equal to more expensive specially tuned or modified engines. Also, it employs an outer head that has many drilled holes for lighter weight and better cooling, and a ceramic rear ball bearing for lower friction loss.
Standard accessories
Install an effective silencer (muffler). Frequent close exposure to a noisy exhaust (especially in the case of the more powerful highspeed engines) may eventually impair your hearing and such noise is also likely to cause annoyance to others over a wide area.
The wearing of safety glasses is also strongly recommended.
Take care that the glowplug clip or battery leads do not come into contact with rotating parts. Also check that the linkage to the throttle arm is secure.
For their safety, keep all onlookers (especially small children) well back (at least 20 feet or 6 meters) when preparing your model for running.
Before starting the engine, always check the tightness of all the screws and nuts especially those of joint and movable parts such as throttle arm. Missing retightening the loose screws and nuts often causes the parts breakage that is capable of harming you.
To stop the engine, fully retard the throttle stick and trim lever on the trans-mitter, or, in an emergency, cut off the fuel supply by pinching the fuel delivery line from the tank.
Warning! Immediately after a glowplug-ignition engine has been run and is still warm, conditions sometimes exist whereby it is just possible for the engine to abruptly restart if it is rotated over compression WITHOUT the glowplug battery being reconnected.
TOOLS, ACCESSORIES, etc.
The following items are necessary for operating the engine.
Items necessary for starting
FUEL
Generally, it is suggested that the user selects a fuel that is commercially available for model two-stroke engines When the brand of fuel is changed, or the nitro content increased, it is advisable to repeat the running-in procedure referred to in the RUNNING-IN paragraphs. Please note that with high-nitro fuels, although power may be increased for competition purposes, glowplug elements do not last as long and engine life will be shortened.
FUEL FILTER
To installed in the fuel line between fuel tank and carburetor to prevent foreign matter from entering the carburetor.
GLOWPLUG IGNITER
Commercialy available handy glowplug heater in which the glowplug battery and battery leads are integrated.
STARTER BOX
For starting the engine.

INSTALLATION OF THE CARBURETOR
As delivered, the engine has its carburetor lightly installed in the intake boss. Secure it as follows.
Retaining Screw
Loosen the retainer screw, rotate the carburetor to its
1. correct position and make sure that it is pressed well down into the intake boss, compressing the rubber gasket, before retightening screw.
Rotate the retaining screw gently until it stops, then
2. tighten a further 120-180 , and no more. Do not overtighten the screw as this will damage the thermo insulator.
Note Be careful not to damage the O rings when removing the carburetor retainer from the engine. First, remove the Retaining screw, then pull out each retainer. Do not push the retainers in or the O rings will get damage.
ENGINE INSTALLATION
Make sure that the vehicle's engine mounting surfaces are level and in the same plane. Poor installation may cause distortion of the crankcase, bearings, etc., resulting in erratic running and loss of performance. The recommended screws for securing the engine are 3mm or 4-40 steel Allen hexagon socket type. If existing holes in the engine mount do not align perfectly with engine mounting lugs, enlarge them slightly with a needle-file so that screws are in alignment with the mounting holes.
Chamfer inside edges of bearers.

STARTING THE ENGINE & RUNNING-IN ('Breaking-in)
Running- in is a procedure for an engine to come close to actual running conditions (fuel, r.p.m., engine temperature, etc.).
Excessively rich running and prolonged low speed running should be avoided. Prolonged low speed running and low temperature running may result in the oil in the fuel becoming gelled and the piston/liner becoming stuck together.
PRESSURIZED FUEL SYSTEM
It is recommended that a muffler pressurized fuel feed system be used so that the fuel may be stably fed to the carburetor.
The following procedure is suitable when a fuel containing 20% nitro-methane is used.
Set the carburetor controls at the standard positions
1. (positions when the engine leaves the factory.)
Switch the transmitter and make sure that each
2. linkage moves correctly.
Make sure rotating direction of the starter box is
3. correct (counter-clockwise seen from the front edge of the crankshaft), and turn the engine with the starter box to draw fuel into the engine.
Connect glowplug battery lead to heat the plug and
4. start the engine with the starter box. When the engine does not start or stops right after being started, try the followings.
Set the needle-valve approx. 2 turns open from the fully closed position. Do not force the needlevalve to turn beyond a lightly closed position.
Set the throttle opening a little wider (approx. 1mm) than the standard setting by adjusting the Throttle Stop Screw.
5.
When the engine starts, warm it up by repeatedly increasing the rpm to medium speed and back again to a fast idle with the mixture set very rich, glowplug connected, and the driving wheels clear of the ground. The rich mixture will provide adequate lubrication and cooling, indicated by profuse exhaust smoke.
Attention:
It is vitally important to set the throttle at the correct position before starting the engine. If the engine is allowed to run with the throttle too far open under ''no load'' conditions (i.e. with the driving wheels not in contact with the ground) it will rapidly over-heat and may be seriously damaged.
6.
When the engine is warmed up, disconnect the glowplug battery and try running the car on the track. If the engine stops soon after running at around mid speed, the mixture is too rich. Close the needle-valve 15°. If the engine still stalls, close the metering needle 15°. Run the car on the track until one tank of fuel has been consumed, then close the needle-valve very little (within 10°).
7.
Repeat this procedure (close needle-valve very little after one tank of fuel has been consumed) until approx. 2 liters of fuel have been consumed, extending gradually the full throttle running time at the straight. Carefully observe the exhaust smoke. Be sure to run the engine with visible white smoke at all times. If the smoke is not visible, the needle-valve is closed too far.
Now the RUNNING-IN (Breaking-in) is completed. Note:
In the event of any major working parts (e.g. piston/cylinder liner assembly) being replaced or the fuel being changed, especially to high nitro fuel, the complete running-in should be repeated.
How to stop the engine
To stop the engine, close the throttle to idle speed and shut it off completely with the trim lever on the transmitter then cut off the fuel supply by pinching the fuel delivery tube to the carburetor.
Warning! Do not touch rotating parts, engine and silencer when stopping the engine as they become very hot, and contact with them may result in a serious burn.

Run the vehicle (with throttle fully open) over the longest available straight course a few times to observe the model’s speed. Return the vehicle to the starting point and close the Needle-valve 15°and repeat the run, taking note of the improvement in performance. Continue with further runs, gradually reduce the Needle-valve setting aiming to achieve the highest straight-line speed (optimum position). Remember, however, if the Needle-valve is closed too far, the engine will overheat, accompanied by visibly diminished exhaust smoke and the model will lose speed. At this point, throttle down immediately, stop the vehicle and reopen the Needle-valve 15°.
METERING NEEDLE ADJUSTMENT
2.
After setting the Needle-valve at optimum position, run the vehicle a few times at the straightway, and stop the vehicle. With the engine still running, close the throttle and allow it idle for about five seconds, then reopen the throttle fully. If, at this point, the engine puffs out an excessive amount of smoke and the vehicle does not accelerate smoothly and rapidly or even stops, it is probable that the idle mixture is too rich. In this case, turn the Metering needle clockwise 15°. If, on the other hand, the engine tends to speed up momentarily with little smoke and then cut out abruptly when the throttle is opened, the idle mixture is too lean. In this case, turn the Metering needle counter-clockwise 15°.
3.
THROTTLE STOP SCREW ADJUSTMENT
If the engine runs too fast with the throttle closed, the throttle stop screw should be turned counter-clockwise to allow the throttle opening to be reduced.
OPTIMUM MIXTURE CONTROL POSITION
With the optimum mixture control position, light smoke is visible during high speed running and the engine rpm increase smoothly during acceleration. Carry out adjustment 1.~3. patiently until the engine responds quickly and positively to the throttle control. Remember that, if the engine is operated with the fuel/air mixture slightly too lean, it will overheat and run unevenly. As with all engines, it is advisable to set both the needle-valve and metering needle slightly on the rich side of the best rpm setting, as a safety measure. Finally, beyond the normal break-in period, a slight readjustment toward a leaner needle setting may be required to maintain maximum performance.
Note: Please regard the standard positions in the instruction manual as just a guide. Positions will vary due to the fuel and silencer used. In general, if a fuel containing less nitromenthane is used, the needlevalve will need to be closed further. Remember, closing the needlevalve too far can cause rusting and damage to the engine.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The minute particles of foreign matter, that are present in
1. any fuel may, by accumulating and partially obstructing fuel flow, cause engine performance to become erratic and unreliable. O.S. 'Super-Filters' (large and small) are available, as optional extras, to deal with this problem. One of these filters installed to the pickup tube inside your refueling container, will prevent the entry of foreign material into the fuel tank. It is also recommended that a good in-line filter be installed between the tank and carburetor.
Do not forget to clean the filters regularly to remove
2. dirt and lint that accumulate on the filter screens. Also, clean the carburetor itself occasionally.
At the end of each operating session, drain out any fuel
3. that may remain in the fuel tank. Afterwards,energize the glow-plug and try to restart the engine, to burn off any fuel that may remain inside the engine. Repeat this procedure until the engine fails to fire. Do this while the engine is still warm.
Then, inject some after-run oil into the engine, and
4. rotate the engine with an electric starter for 4 to 5 seconds to distribute the oil to all the working parts.
Note: Do not inject after-run oil into the carburetor as
this may cause the O-rings inside the carburetor to deteriorate. These procedures will reduce the risks of starting difficulties or corrosion after a period of storage.
5.
Finally, when cleaning the exterior of the engine, use methanol or a household cleaning agent. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or any petroleum based chemical which can damage silicone fuel tubing.
Note: Crankshaft of this engine is filled with silicone. Do not use light oil nor kerosene, etc. for washing, or the silicone will swell. Use alcohol or fuel for washing and dry it completely.
Dirt and dust may lodge in marked places.
REMOVING DIRT/STAIN
Dirt and stain stuck on the engine and silencer/manifold cause lowering heat dissipation effect. When dirt and stain are detected, remove the engine from the chassis and clean it with alcohol.
INATALLING DUST CAPS
When storing the engine, install the cap on the exhaust port, carburetor, etc. to prevent dust from entering the engine.
CHECKING THE ENGINE
If the engine will not develop normal performance after long time running due to wearing of parts. It is suggested to replace necessary parts when the following symptoms are detected.
Engine sound changes and easily overheats.
Power has dropped extremely.
Idle is unstable and/or engine tends to stop at idle.
In most cases, ball bearings, cylinder & piston assembly, connecting rod and/or crankcase have become worn. Check the parts carefully and replace them if necessary.
