OS 46VF break in
« on: March 01, 2021, 03:50:31 AM »
Hi Randy, I gather the 46 VF I sent you to have new bearings and the ABC piston and liner installed will need to be broken in again. What would the best way to do this? Thanks

Use fuel with 20% oil, mostly synthetic, 75-25  or so, Run it with a 11 x 4 prop, run the fastest 4 cycle it will run in, then turn the needle just into a 2 cycle for 10 seconds at a time. rotate back and forth between the 2 setting, I would run 4 ounces at a time, and try to use 1/2 gallon of fuel. When you decide  to run it in a plane, use a 12 to 12 1/4 x 4 to 4.25  prop 2  blade  or  11.5 to 12 inch  3 blade  with about  4.5 pitch.  We burned  about 5.5   to 6 ounces of fuel  piped, and a little  less  run on a muffler, Use a  hot  glow plug, like a  Glow Devil 300, big bore hot, etc

Thanks Randy. I have 11/ 4 two blade wood and 12 4.25 three blade carbon props.  I have a 6oz uniflow tank and Merlin Glo plugs. Is the merlin plug good? It wil be on a pipe.

The Merlin  2004  and  2005  are  good  for this engine,  i would  break in with the  11 x 4  2  blade
