It is very important to choose the right propeller for it may damage the engine, but usually the size of the propellor recommended for the engine is given, but in some models a different propellor is needed. So be careful to choose the right prop! Usually the way to start the engine is given with the engine itself.

This is to start a control line engine and may not work in r/c engines. After tuning the engine choke the engine by placing one of your fingers on the air intake and then place the other finger of the other hand on the propeller and turn. Then attach the starter on the engine (some dont need a starter) and flick the propeller hard for about 10-20 times and the engine should start. If the engine stops in a short time after starting turn in the compression setting screw and flick hard. This will take out any excess fuel in the engine or the commpression may be too high so turn out the compession setting screw and start. If the engine misfires or runs roughly, turn in the commpression setting screw till it runs evenly, If the sound is damped then turn the screw back.

And now your engine should run properly!




















Note:In india the engine is stared like this i don't know if it wors in engines of other countries though mostly all are same. This is meant for the starting of engines which use fuler and not for electric motors
