20) No 20 RC engine. CEN NT16. 
Came togather when i buy Cen TR4 on 1/12/2022. Problem no Pullstart, can start using starter box.













Always RC player ask a same question How to keep nitro Engine in long storage. My way to keep a engine from damage during long storage 1 month or years.

1. After play all fuel system must clear from nitro fuel. inside fuel tank, fuel pipe, fuel filter. 
2. Use after run oil in piston, crankshaft,  glow and carburetor.
3. Always put piston position at BTDC bottom top death center with means piston at rest position below liner. 
4. For long storage remove air filter. when oil touch the sponge, long time become dust partical. If new filter is ok.

Open glow plug drop few after run oil and turn flywheel by hand, pull star or starter motor, to ensure oil stick evenly on piston and liner.

Drop from glow plug hole

Drop oil on glow plug fillemement.

The best way remove the good glow plug and use damage glow

 If use damage glow plug don't tighten too hard reduce damage on tread. Event the new plug for long storage.

Drop few drop on carburettor into crankshaft turn the flywheel. 

Open cab plunger drop oil

For flywheel make marking on top mean piston in BTDC


Just open to show piston at rest position

Drop oil on carburetor plunger too

Remove air filter close carburetor air intake hole with tissue or a rubber cap. Why because air filter sponge if long storage will damage into dust form and will drop inside the crankshaft.


This my way of taking care a rc engine for long storage or after playing, hope it help.




Enjoy Reading and have fun.
