Open the cam gear cover and put a couple drops of oil in there. This will ensure that the cam has lube on the first run. Don't use too much or too thick of an oil as it will be difficult to start. You just want to have a little lube so its not dry. My latest engine was good on the lube for the Cam out of the box. Just check it...The 170's have not been sitting around too long.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Start it up, in the model no cowl on so you can see stuff and it and it won't be bangin into the cowling.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT

<DIV><FONT size=2>The 17-12W is a good option as are the 16.5-13W and some of the 18.1's. Another really excellent prop is the 17-13.

<DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Hi all</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The weather is finally good enough to start flying in Ontario so I would like to fire up the YS. It's been a while since last I ran one and would prefer not to screw up the nice new motor.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm running the Hatori muffler/header and the engine in mounted using a Hyde 170ARA. Of course I'll use 30% Heli fuel, 16.5 to 17-12 APC and a "soft start" glow igniter.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any advice on the best way to run-in these things? Should I run it in while mounted in the plane, or would that be too much for airframe?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks</DIV> <DIV>Colin.</DIV> <div></div></BLOCKQUOTE>_______________________________________________<BR>NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion</BLOCKQUOTE><BR><p>
