As many of you know, I have been working with John on the development of the small engines.
Whenever an engine fails to meet customer expectations, it is sent to me for evaluation.
Aside from a very few instances, every allegedly defective engine proved to be in perfect working order.
They started easily and ran smoothly. #^ #^
A number of customers confessed that they DID NOT read the instructions. HB~>
I spent a lot of time writing the operating instructions and, if followed, the engine should work exactly as intended.
A few hints for initial break-in:
DO NOT USE more than 10% nitro or less than 22% oil (50/50). n1
Use a 6-3 or 6-4 nylon propeller y1
If the engine will not draw fuel, insure that the spray bar hole is oriented downward.
And, again I state - READ THE DIRECTIONS COMPLETELY before attempting to run the engine.
Feel free to call or e-mail me and I will help as much as I can.
If I receive an engine and it is indeed defective, it WILL BE REPLACED!! ;D ;D

WE DON' NEED NO STINKIN 'STRUCTIONS, DUZ WE? In all seriousness these are definitely a different animal. If you only had Cox engines and feel life begins at 25% nitro, this is not the engine. Jus' jerkin yer chain Bob. >:D H^^ **)

Bob Z:
If you see the tiny percentage of sales numbers that come back
as complaints , you must need little time to deal with them!
As an aside I still dont see the MK II Brodak 049 on the web site
and where we fly the silcencer would be needed, what one will fit
please?
Appreciate any reply

All Bob is saying, Vincent, is that if folks followed the instructions, even the current small number of complaints would be even further reduced- - - RTFM
