Working instruction for
Zenoah and FG F-260 engines
Our 1:5 On-Road and 1:6 Truck models are equipped with a standard air filter including a factory-oiled filter insert. This filter is sufficient for use on
tracks with low formation of dust. As a precaution, we recommend to change or rather clean the foam filter inserts more often and afterwards soak
them again fully with filter oil 06441. Due to the higher formation of dust, we have equipped our 1:6 Off-Road models with the FG Off-Road inlet air
filter with oiled filter insert. Due to the presence of dust, It is mandatory to clean the filter inserts of these Off-Road filters. Check for cracks and soak
them in filter oil 06441, too.
1. Initial operation of the engine
Always check if the air filter and the air filter adapter are seated correctly and
firmly before starting the engine. The mix ratio of gas and oil should be 1:33
which means a part of 3 % oil. Suitable gas is Super or Superplus gas. We
recommend our FG Panolin Racing Oil for an optimal lubrication, Item
N°. 08559.
2. Starting the cold engine
Close the carburetor throttle valve and now shut the choke flap on the car-
buretor. Press the primer pump on the carburetor until the pump is full of fuel.
Slowly pull the rope starter until you feel the first resistance, then pull stron-
gly until the engine starts. Normally the engine will stop again after the first
ignition. Now open the choke flap and pull the rope starter once again until the
engine runs. Never run the cold engine at full-load or at high speed ranges,
rather warm-up the engine for approx. 3-4 minutes at a low speed range. If
the starting instructions are not strictly followed, our warranty can not be
engaged.
3. Starting the warm engine
Leave the choke clap open, press the primer pump and actuate the rope star-
ter. To turn the engine off, press the ignition switch until the engine stops.
4. Carburetor adjustment
The adjustment of the carburetor is preset at the factory according to the local
conditions. Depending on air filter, exhaust silencer and operating conditions
a correction may be necessary.
Drive the engine until it has reached its working temperature. If the engine de-
celerates a little during the acceleration, then it runs too lean. In this case,
open the No-load adjusting screw L counterclockwise. If the engine revs up
slowly and emitting clouds of smoke, then the engine probably runs with an
overrich mixture. In that case you should turn the No-load adjusting screw L
clockwise.
To adjust the maximum rotation speed, lift the rear wheels and run the warm
engine briefly at full speed. Turn the Full-load adjusting screw H to the left
(lean mixture) or to the right (overrich mixture).
CAUTION! Do not run the engine in a no-load condition too long at high rpms.
Usually, the idle adjusting screw has to be ajusted once again.
5. Basic adjustment of the carburetor
The preset values are reference values. Nevertheless in some cases, the car-
buretor has to be readjusted. If you notice that the No-load adjusting screw L
or the Full-load adjusting screw H are wrongly adjusted, close both adjusting
screws L + H carefully. Then, open the adjusting screws counterclockwise
corresponding to the following table.

During the first two tank fillings, avoid running at maximum speed
ranges in no-load condition as well as full-speed drives on long
straight lines. It is advised to check the effective range of the radio
control system with the engine running.
Never operate the engine in closed rooms without sufficient venti-
lation. Further safety instructions are enclosed with the engines ins-
truction manual.
