And the needle settings, how many turns out for the low speed needle, do i take it nice and easy for a few tanks, vary the throttle, not go full throttle etc. Cheers

Thanks mate, I am in Australia so some metric measurements would be great. Cheers

Hello all, I have just completed my first build, a Zipkitt Thunderboat and have fitted a brand new Zenoah 290PUM. Can someone please tell me the base setting for both needles and a correct run in proceedure. Also what ratio fuel mix do I use? I have Motul 800 2T oil to use. Cheers

Hello all, Do I follow the run in advice on the instructions? 2.5 turns out on the needle, 1 full tank flat out. Then lean it of 1/8 turn and run another full tank with a mixture of full and half throttle. Then take the needle back to 2.5 turns and run another full tank flat out. repeat for...

Thanks guys for the help, my problem was that I cut the cable too short and did not have the play for engine turning.

Thanks Dave, Off to the shop again tomorrow to buy a cable that is a bit longer and try again. Cheers

So the outer plastic tube must be fixed at both the motor and radio box? I have done this but the cable pulls when the motor turns and this is in turn moving the throttle servo.

Thanks, But as the motor turns right and left won't it still pull the throttle wire tight and adjust the trottle? Just tried it and it tightens the cable as I move the motor to the right, do I need to have a slightly longer cable so when the motor moves it does not pull on the throttle cable?

Hello all, I have bolted up the TT outboard and have installed the throttle servo. My questions is how do I mount the throttle cable and the plastic tube it runs in. What I mean is when I move the outboard from left to right it pulls on the throttle cable and adjust the rpm. How do I mount...

Hello all, Converting my VS1 to nitro, what size throttle servo do I use? Cheers

Hayden, I don't really want to have to buy three balanced and sharpened props so which one should I go for? Cheers

Grim, Yep going to run the VS1 hull and the TT pro outboard, looks like I will need an X637 balanced and sharpened prop, any further suggestions?

Shoboat, I can wait a week or so, my biggest problem is I live in Australia and everyone wants rediculous postage prices that just don't seem realistic, like $15 and $20 for one prop. Do you have an idea of postage to Perth, Western Australia, 6025.

Hello all, Where can I get a balanced and sharpened X637 to suit a TT pro outbaord. Cheers

Tim, It is the 1.04:1 geared version Pro outboard, is an Octura 445 ballanced and polished too big? If I buy a prop for this engine on my VS1 what would you recommend? Also what is a recommended run in nitro mix and then what do I use after that for every day use. Cheers
