<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've finally done it. I've crossed to the
dark side and ordered a YS 170 DZ. The coming availability of the CDI
conversion promises to resolve most of the objections that held me back
before. But now come the questions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Exhaust: I guess you buy the Hatori 821 and call it
a day? Any special mounting tips?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Engine mount: I've heard a little bit about an
isolation mount that YS makes, but it's pricey. What, if anything does
this buy you as compared to a Hyde / Budd mount solution?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fuel: What's the real deal with the
oil? Not the percentage, because I know that's being experimented with,
but what oil does this engine require in the fuel?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maintenance: I'ev heard that prior to the
first run, you need to take the head cover off and oil up the lifters.
True? What kind of oil, how much etc? What about after run?
None needed? What other maintenance tips are there to keep this beast
going? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Break In: What prop? Lower the
nitro? Follow the instructions or is there a better way?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After break in: What props are being used and
what kind of R's are to be expected if say, 20% nitro is used?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, that's it for now. Any guidance here is
much appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks!</FONT></DIV>
