Start a model aircraft engine is surprisingly easy, it’s prime can be hand-started in a couple flips. But some propellers have extremely sharp edges.For your own safety scrape and sand this edge down. If you try to flip the propeller by hand you will get a nasty razor cut. and you may heard that some people use a Chicken Stick to start their engines if they didn’t get an standard electric starter Why start engine can be so “Informal”? Are they really all acceptable?
“Chicken Stick” Start Engines
People use a Chicken Stick to start their engines for safety purposes. A Chicken Stick is a small, hand-held, rubber coated stick that is used to flip the propeller and keep the fingers out of the propeller arc.
Hand Starting a Glow Engine
My first recommendation for starting an engine is to attempt hand starting before automatically reaching for an electric starter. It is faster and easier and not as hard on your engine. Follow these steps closely and you will be amazed at the success you have starting your engines.
Before you attempt to start your engine ensure that:
Spectators are a safe distance away and behind the propeller.
There is nothing that can get pulled into the propeller.
The glow igniter is not connected.
The fuel tank is full.
The propeller is securely mounted using a real wrench — not a four-way wrench.
If you have never run this engine before or for any reason think the high-speed needle valve is not close to the right setting then close the needle all the way. Do not crank it closed or you might damage the spray bar. Just close it until it stops. Now open it about 2 full turns. That should give the engine a sloppy rich setting. You can lean (close) the needle a bit if it is too rich after the engine is running.
To Hand Start (almost) any Engine
1. Move the throttle to idle, hook up the glow igniter and turn over the engine slowly by hand. If it kicks then skip to step 7. If you do not feel a slight kick then disconnect the igniter and continue with the next step.
2. Open the throttle all the way. Put a finger or thumb over the carburetor to seal it. Turn over the prop by hand — you will see fuel moving up the fuel line toward the carb. This is called choking.
Continue doing this until you see the fuel enter the carburetor. After you see the fuel enter the carburetor give it only one more flip. If you flip it more than once you will probably flood the engine.
3. Remove your finger from the carb and move the throttle to the idle setting.
4. Flip the propeller over sharply a half dozen times to get the fuel distributed throughout the engine.
5. Connect the glow igniter.
6. While holding the propeller, turn (do not flip) the engine over several times until you feel a definite “kick.” The kick means that it is ready to start. If the engine is flooded then be careful when you flip the prop — it may backfire and smack your hand pretty hard giving you a nice cut.
7. Give the propeller a good flip and it should start immediately. If it does not start continue to flip the prop until it no longer kicks. If it still does not start then disconnect the glow igniter and go back to step 1. Once or twice through these steps only does not even take a minute and your engine should start.
Using an Electric Starter
I think flyers abuse their engines with electric starters. I have one and I use it with my helicopter because there is really no other way to start the engine. My helicopter requires a starting shaft which replaces the aluminum cone on the front of the starter.
Whatever you do, do not keep cranking your engine with an electric starter if it will not start. You are just wearing it out (the engine and the starter). If the engine will not start then disconnect the fuel line and flip it until all the fuel is out of the engine.
If you think the engine is flooded (which it probably is if you’ve been cranking it with a starter) then you can use your starter to get most of the fuel out of your engine quickly:
Disconnect the fuel line. If you are using some type of pressurized system (muffler or pump) then plug the line. It’s a good idea to plug the line anyway so fuel doesn’t siphon out of the tank.
Remove the glow plug. Place a rag over the head so raw fuel doesn’t spray into your face.
Turn over the engine for a couple seconds to blow the excess raw fuel out.
That technique doesn’t totally un-flood the engine but it gets most of the fuel out. Put the glow plug back in and then connect the glow igniter. Be sure the throttle is at idle and flip the engine over until it kicks over. Reconnect the fuel line and the engine should start right up.
Remember, engines burn fumes, not liquids. You only need a very small amount of fuel in the engine. Most starting problems are either a bad fuel feed or a flooded engine.
Electric starters are a good thing, but they are really not necessary to start most engines. I do recommend them while cautioning you that they can cause unnecessary wear on your engine. The Sullivan starter sets the standard and is very good.
Sdshobbysupply several models starter. They are all the standard starter that most modelers use.Starters are made by other companies as well. I am sure they all work fine.
