Yeah all the fuel is sealed with the caps should I move it to my garage so it will stay warmer?

Sorry guys I still haven't gotten a chance to fire it up for the first time. Really want to but I don't think it would be wise trying to break it in with it being winter now and temps being lower. And right now the weather isn't cooperating. Really want to hear that sound! Also is it bad to...

I'm gonna see if I have the time today but might try to get that engine running. Final suggestions on how I should break it in? Prop size? Engine temperature? Thanks!

How should I go about breaking/running in this engine?

Sweet thank you! I have another one of those glow plugs but I don't have another shim will it need the shim? Edit: Not that it matters much but this manual is for the GS-# engines not the S# engines.

Thank you. I appreciate all of the help that you guy's are giving. Really just want to know what glow plug would work and be ideal for this engine. Thanks for all the advice!

@cbaker65 Here's pictures of the box that you had sent me in a former PM. 😂 Uh maybe I missed it but I think I got you confused about what engine I need to find a manual for and find a glow plug for. Above in the links you posted a manual for the tower hobbies engine. I need the manual for...

Alright that's some great info there thank you! So from my understanding it's the glow plug length required is based on the head depth and the heat level is based on engine size and fuel %? Is that right? Also I'm looking for what kind of glow plug would be ideal for the new to me super tigre...

@cbaker65 You gave me a wooden 11x6 prop too.

Right. I really could care less about a manual. I am just asking about the glow plug to use. I really don't want to damage it and want to try and use what is recommended. Thoughts? @StonerRC365 Yeah it's a .40 size engine. Thanks!

So engine arrived and I've got it out and noticed there is no glow plugs. I assume they aren't a universal thing because I have another OS one and tower one. So what would I need for this to run? It doesn't have a manual either. Thank you for getting the engine to me and the propellers...

Thank you guys for that! Yeah I was looking for replacement gaskets and google only brought up like 4 results for the part # and most were manual downloads that contain that part #.

Meaning as of today it's not worth a whole lot...😂 Yeah last I checked it had a gasket in there or at least a sorry excuse. I had noticed a puff of smoke come from somewhere maybe the head?

That's how the piston top looks.

Yeah I know I have no idea if this prop is balanced but the previous owner built and flew these so I think so? I don't know exactly. I'm going to try to get involved in a club nearby and they can show me if it's not balanced. Come to think of it when I take the prop off I'll throw it on the...

The gasket looks good but I don't know if for some reason it would leak? Since you guys are sending me that other engine I'll teardown this one and see what I can learn from it.

Um @cbaker65 ?

Yes seems like it has a few air leaks. (Backplate,Head, maybe the carb?) Also who is the very kind person that is offering to cover shipping of this engine that @cbaker65 is offering me?

I'll talk to my dad about it tonight...Thank you for that offer @cbaker65

Haven't done a full teardown. But I found that it doesn't look like it has bearings. Then I bolted it back together because it looked fine but now it runs like crap. Can't hold the idle and sounds like it is going to blow the head off. I think I'm just going to have to take the long process...
