Remember that your engine is not a "toy", but a highly efficient internalcombustion machine whose power is capable of harming you, or others, if it is
misused.
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS ABOUT YOUR O.S. ENGINE
The advice which follows applies basically to ALL MODEL ENGINES and is
grouped under two headings according to the degree of damage or danger
which might arise through misuse or neglect.
WARNINGS
NOTES
Th e se co v er ev e nts wh ich
mig h t inv o lve se rious (in
extreme circumstances, even
fatal) injury.
These cover the many other
possibilities, generally less obvious
sources of danger, but which, under
certain circumstances, may also
cause damage or injury.

!
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.
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.
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 touch, or allow any
object to come into contact
with, the rotating propeller and
do not crouch over the engine
when it is running.

4
!
This engine was designed for model boats.
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.
Install an effective silencer (muffler).
Frequent close exposure to a noisy exhaust
(especially in the case of the most powerful
high-speed engines) may eventually impair
your hearing and such noise is also likely to
cause annoyance to others over a wide area.
Take care that the glowplug clip or battery
leads do not come into contact with the propeller or any other rotating parts. Also check
that the linkage to the throttle arm is secure.
If your engine does not have a built-in recoil
starter, use an electric starter. The wearing of
safety glasses is also strongly recommended.
When handling the boat immediately prior to
launching, be especially cautious.
Keep the propeller and other rotating parts
away from you.
NOTES
For their safety, ke ep al l onlooke rs
(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.
5
!
Adjust the throttle linkage so that the
engine stops when the throttle stick and
trim lever on the transmitter are fully
retarded. Alternatively, the engine may be
stopped by cutting off the fuel supply.
Never try to stop the engine physically.
Warning! Immediately after a glowplugignition 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.

ENGINE CONSTRUCTION
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.
Near TDC

NOTES WHEN APPLYING
AN ELECTRIC STARTER
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.

8
GUARANTEE
This engine is constructed from the very
best materials available and to the very
highest engineering standards, using
the most advanced precision machinery.
However, the extremely high stresses
imposed by car racing operation under
very severe conditions, as well as
stresses which are exacerbated by the
use of powerful fuels containing very
high concentrations of nitromethane,
constitute hazards which are beyond a
manufacturer's control. Accordingly, we
regret that it is not possible to extend
our usual warranty terms to this
particular engine -i.e. no guarantee is
offered against material wear, or damage
resulting from, actual use.
As delivered, the engine has the
carburetor lightly fit into its intake.
Secure it changing its angle according
to the hull.
NOTE
NOTES ON OPERATION
We do not recommend running your boat
on the sea, or in any other saltwater
environment. Under such conditions, it is
difficult to prevent the engine from
becoming corroded and, eventu ally,
inoperative.

r.p.m. drop and power loss during running.
Composition and proportion of lubricant in the
fuel may affect the symptoms.
Glow plug burns out frequently.

10
FUEL
Generally, it is suggested that the user selects a fuel
that is commercially available for model two-stroke
engines and contains 10-30% nitromethane. As a
starting point, we recommend a fuel containing 20%
nitromethane, changing to a fuel containing more
nitro if necessary. 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.
Items necessary for starting
!
REMINDER!
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.
TOOLS, ACCESSORIES, etc.
The following items are necessary for operating the engine.
!
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.
PROPELLER
Use well balanced propellers only. As the ideal
diameter, pitch and shape vary according to the
size, weight and type of model, final selection
can be made after practical experiment. As a
starting point, suggested propeller diameter is
41-43mm with a pitch/dia ratio of 1.0-1.1 for indrive Vee type hulls, 40-45mm with a pitch/dia.
ratio of 1.2-1.6 for out-drive Vee type
hulls and 44-46mm with a pitch/dia.

shown in the sketch. (In case of 30% nitro fuel)
In case of 65% nitro fuel, basic position should
be approximately 45 degrees turned left from
the center. Mixture gets lean when the Mixture
Control Screw is turned right, while mixture gets
rich when the Mixture Control Screw is turned
left. With a model boat, adjustments vary with
combined various factors such as climatic
conditions, fuel, muffler, etc. Therefore, Mixture
Control Screw position varies with each model
and set-up, and it is normal if the Mixture Control
Screw position is off center.
As delivered, the Mixture Control screw is
positioned at approximately the center as

As the idle mixture control screw is
installed with LOCTITE, it may initially feel stiff, and it is suggested
to use a little larger screwdriver.
The screw can be turned only 90 degrees either way. Do
not force it to turn further, or it may break end cause
trouble.

GLOWPLUG
The role of the glowplug
Glowplug life
Particularly in the case of very high performance
engines,
glowplugs must be regarded as expendable
items. However, plug life can be extended and engine
performance maintained by careful use, i.e.:
Install a plug suitable for the engine.
Use fuel containing a moderate percentage of
nitromethane unless more is essential for racing events.
Do not run the engine too lean and do not leave the
battery connected while adjusting the needle.
With a glowplug engine, ignition is initiated by the
application of a 1.5-volt power source. When the
battery is disconnected, the heat retained within the
combustion chamber remains sufficient to keep the
plug filament glowing, thereby continuing to keep the
engine running. Ignition timing is 'automatic' : under
reduced load, allowing higher rpm, the plug becomes
hotter and, appropriately, fires the fuel/air charge
earlier; conversely, at reduced rpm, the plug become
cooler and ignition is retarded.
Apart from when actually burned out, a plug may
need to be replaced because it no longer delivers its
best performance, such as when:
When to replace the glowplug
Filament surface has roughened and turned white.
Filament coil has become distorted.
Foreign matter has adhered to filament or plug
body has corroded.
Engine tends to cut out when idling.
Starting qualities deteriorate.
Since the compatibility of the glowplug
and fuel may have a marked effect on
performance and reliability, it is suggested
to use the O.S. RP7 plug when it is
necessary to replace. Carefully install
plug finger-tight, before final tightening
with the correct size plug wrench.

supplied into marine head carefully, making
sure that it is not cross-threaded before
tightening firmly.
(All the O.S. T-Type plugs including the RP7
are not supplied with a washer.)
17
INSTALLATION OF THE CARBURETOR
As delivered, the engine has its carburetor lightly
installed in the intake boss. Secure it as follows.
Loosen the retainer screw, rotate the
carburetor to its correct position and make
sure that it is pressed well down into the
intake boss, compressing the rubber gasket,
before retightening screw.

Rotate the retainer nut
gently until it stops.
Tighten a further
120-180
Rotate the retainer screw gently until it
stops, then tighten a further 120-180 .
Do not overtighten the screw as this will
damage the carburetor spacer.
Note
Be careful not to damage the O rings when
removing the carburetor retainer from the
engine.
First, remove the retainer Retaining screw,
then pull out each part. Do not push the
part in or damage the O rings.

ENGINE INSTALLATION
Make sure that the engine mounting beams in
the hull are parallel, with their top surfaces in
the same plane. If they are not, the engine will
not rest firmly as the engine mounting faces
(undersides of the mounting lugs) are precision
machined to be flat and in the same plane.
Poor installation may not only cause vibration,
erratic running and loss of performance, but
may also damage the engine itself by
deforming the crankcase, cylinder, etc.
The mounting beams and adjacent hull
structure should be as rigid as possible so that
the engine may develop its full performance.
Use 3mm steel screws, such as Allen sockethead type, with locknuts, for bolting the engine
to the mounting beams.

File off
Before installing the engine in the model, clean out the
engine compartment. If any remaining sand paper and
glass wool residues are not removed completely, they
may be sucked into the engine and damage the engine.
Screws are prone to loosen during running.
Be sure to use the Lock Washers available as
optional extra or locking glue to prevent their
loosening.
4.
If the holes in the mounting beams do not align
exactly with the engine's mounting lugs,
enlarge them slightly with a needle file so that
the mounting screws pass through the holes
smoothly without being forced.
19
STARTING THE ENGINE & RUNNING-IN ('Breaking-in)
PRESSURIZED FUEL SYSTEM
!
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.
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.
RUNNING-IN ('Breaking-in)
The somewhat violent changes of hull attitude
that occur in running, combined with the fact
that, in boats the fuel tank is often located
some distance from the carburetor, means
that fuel 'head' at the carburettor can vary
and upset running.
Therefore,it is recommended that a muffler
pressurized fuel feed system be used.

20
The following procedure is suitable when a
fuel containing 30% nitro-methane is used.
Fill the tank completely with fuel.
Temporarily remove the glowplug to check
that it glows bright red when energized.
Glow Plug Igniter
Pliers
Element glows when energized.
Replace the plug when the
element does not glow or is
burnt out.
Turn the needle-valve clockwise slowly until
it stops. This is the fully closed position.
Do not force to turn further.
Open the Needle-Valve 1.5 turns from the
fully closed position.
Open
Close
Needle Valve
Swith on the transmitter and make sure that
each linkage moves correctly.

Throttle Trim
Raise the throttle trim 2 or 3 clicks on the
transmitter for easier starting.
Turn the engine with an electric starter or
recoil starter to draw fuel into the engine.
Fuel
Deliver fuel into the carburetor.
Fuel tank side
Now connect glowplug battery lead to heat
the plug filament and start the engine.
Start the engine using an electric starter
making sure the engine rotation direction is
correct (counter-clockwise seen from the
crankshaft end).
When the engine starts, first repeat low
speed running and medium speed running
by raising and lowering throttle stick on the
transmitter to warm up the engine.
Aviod high speed running.

22
PRECAUTIONS
When starting the engine, with the hull out
off the water and no load on the engine,
even below half throttle, the engine can
over-rev. Prolonged running at higher
throttle settings can result in seizure of the
connecting rod and crankpin. Never run the
engine with the throttle above the starting
setting with the hull out of the water and no
load on the engine.
Next, disconnect the glowplug battery and
try running the hull on the water. If the
engine stalls, open the throttle fractionally,
but try to keep the engine running as rich as
possible: if it stops because of being
excessively over-rich, close the NeedleValve 30˚ and try again.
Run the hull on the water until one tank of fuel
has been consumed, then close the NeedleValve one click and run the hull for another full
tank of fuel. Repeat this procedure until 5 more
tanks of fuel have been consumed, during
which time the throttle may be opened for brief
bursts of increased power.
If the engine stops at medium speeds, close
the Mixture Screw 10˚.
23
Needle
The position of the needle-valve
when starting the engine.
Close the needle-valve approx.
30˚ after running the hull for one full
tank of fuel. Repeat this procedure
several times.
If the engine should need to be
disassembled (e.g. for cleaning or minor
parts replacement) it is advisable to return
the Needle-Valve to the original rich,
starting setting and check whether further
running-in time is required before the car is
raced again. In the event of any major
working parts(e,g, piston/cylinder liner
assembly) being replaced, the complete
running-in should be repeated.
Remember!
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.
Throttle Trim
Throttle Stick
TO STOP THE ENGINE
Lower the throttle trim and/or throttle stick on
the transmitter.

24
FINAL ADJUSTMENT
Final adjustment should be carried out only after
the running-in has been completed.
Run the hull (with throttle fully open) over the
longest available straight, in order to observe
the model's speed. Next return the hull to the
starting point, close the Needle-Valve 30˚
and repeat the run, taking note of the
improvement in performance. Continue with
further runs, gradually reducing the NeedleValve setting and aiming to achieve the
highest straight-line speed. Remember,
however, that, if the Needle-Valve is shut
down too far, the engine will overheat and,
accompanied by visibly diminished exhaust
smoke, the model will lose speed. At this
point, throttle down immediately, stop the hull
and reopen the Needle-Valve 30˚.
Having established the optimum NeedleValve setting, check the Mixture Control
Valve setting as follows.
With the engine running, close the throttle
and allow it to 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 hull does not accelerate
smoothly and rapidly, it is probable that the
idle mixture is too rich.
In this case, turn the Mixture Control Valve
clockwise 10˚. If, on the other hand, the
engine tends to speed up momentarily and
then cut out abruptly when the throttle is
opened,the idle mixture is too lean. Correct
this by turning the Mixture Control Valve
counter-clockwise 10˚.
25
NOTE:
Mixture Control Valve adjustment should
be made in steps of not more than 45-90˚,
carefully checking the effect,on throttle
response, of each small adjustment.
Warning!
Carry out adjustments patiently, under
actual running conditions, until the engine
responds quickly and positively to the
throttle control.
Mixture adjustments (whether via the
Mixture Control Valve, or the Needle-Valve)
cannot be made accurately under 'no-load'
conditions, which, in any case, are not
advised, since such operation carries the
risk of seriously damaging the engine
through over-revving and overheating.
With the optimum mixture control position,
light smoke is visible during high speed
running,and the engine rpm increases
smoothly during acceleration. 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 needle-valve and
mixture control screw very slightly on the rich
side of the best rpm setting, as a safety
measure.
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.
Finally, beyond the nominal break-in period,
a slight readjustment toward a leaner needle
setting ma y be required to maintain
performance.

26
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1.
2.
3.
The minute particles of foreign matter, that
are present in 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 foreign matter that accumulate on
the filter screens. Also, clean the carburetor
itself occasionally.
At the end of each operating session, drain out
any fuel 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.
4.
Then, inject some after-run oil into the
engine, and 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.
27
CHECKING THE ENGINE
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.
Idling is unstable and/or engine tends to stop
at idling.
In most cases, ball bearings, cylinder & piston
assembly, connecting rod and/or crankcase have
become worn out or abnormal. Check the
parts carefully and replace them if necessary.
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.
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.
