Mounting the Engine  
Installing the Muffler  
The muffler mounting accessory package includes mounting screws  
(2), lock washers (2), muffler gaskets (2) and an L- wrench.  
Using the included muffler mounting screws and lock  
washers, attach your choice muffler with the included  
hex wrench. Be sure the lock washers are placed over the  
screwsandthatonegasketisplacedbetweenthemuffler  
and the engine. A second gasket is included as a spare.  
Securely tighten both screws with moderate torque. The  
exhaust outlet of the muffler can be rotated to allow the  
exhaust outlet to be repositioned for various applications.  
Securely tighten all engine mounting screws and re-check tightness  
before each flying session.  
All model airplanes include an engine mount of some  
type. It is extremely important that the engine be securely  
mounted to the airplane’s engine mount. Follow the  
instructions included with the airplane for mounting  
the engine.  
1. Loosen the lock nut on the back of the muffler and then  
loosen the assembly screw.  
2. Rotate the rear half of the muffler to the desired  
position.  
Important: Before each flying session, check that all  
engine mounting screws are securely tightened.  
3. Tighten the assembly screw first and then tighten the  
lock nut.  
Important: After five runs, retighten the muffler  
mounting screws and head bolt. Heat and vibration from  
these first few runs can cause the gasket to compress.  
Once the muffler screws are re-tightened, they will  
remain tight and leak-free until the muffler is removed.  
Also, if you have chosen the tube style muffler, tighten the  
muffler thru-bolt at this time as well—loosen the lock  
nut on the back of the muffler, tighten the thru-bolt via  
the screwhead at the front of the muffler then retighten  
the lock nut at the rear.

Attaching the Propeller and Spinner  
Attaching the Fuel Lines  
Using medium silicone fuel tubing, attach the fuel tank’s  
clunk line to the fuel nipple. This line will supply fuel to  
the engine. Attach the vent line to the muffler pressure  
nipple. This line pressurizes the fuel tank with the muffler  
pressure, creating consistent fuel flow, regardless of the  
airplane’s attitude.  
Vent Line  
Fuel Line  
Securely tighten the prop nut using an adjustable wrench.  
Starting the Evolution Engine  
Fuel  
The Evolution engine comes baseline adjusted from the  
factory. We recommend using high quality Cool Power  
Omega or Power Master fuels containing 5 to 10% Nitro.  
The Evolution engine has been test run using these fuels.  
If another brand of fuel is used, it may be necessary to  
slightly adjust the needle valves to compensate for the  
differences in fuel.  
Glow Plug  
The Evolution engine comes with a specially designed  
“Super Plug”. The plug’s unique shape directs incoming  
fuel/air mixture away from the plug element. When  
replacing the plug, be sure to replace it with another  
Evolution 2-4 stroke Super Plug (EVOGP1).  
If you are using an aftermarket spinner nut, install the  
propeller, the prop washer and then the prop nut in that  
order (see photo). Securely tighten the prop nut using  
whatever is most suitable to tighten the spinner nut (if  
you are using one). In the photo above we are using a  
spinner nut only.  
Starting the Engine  
Step 1. Fill the tank with the above-mentioned 5 or  
10% fuel.  
Step 2. Reattach the fuel lines, making sure the vent  
and clunk line are attached to the fuel nipple  
and the muffler pressure nipple.  
Caution: Do not attach the glow driver yet.  
Step 3. Place your thumb over the venturi and flip the  
4
 
prop counter-clockwise through 6 -10 complete  
revolutions, thus priming the engine. Have a  
helper hold your airplane.  
SetRight Needle Valves  
The design of the SetRight needle valve system is such  
that, during normal operating conditions, the typical user  
will find that the normal range of adjustment allowed by  
the system is more than adequate for most situations.  
As a matter of fact, we intended this to be used as a  
tool to identify operating problems. If you find that the  
range of adjustment allowed by the SetRight needle is  
inadequate after your initial period of running, then a  
problem in your engine system has occurred. This might  
be a bad glow plug, dirty or old fuel, an air leak in the  
fuel system somewhere or any number of other reasons.  
Do not make any permanent adjustment range changes  
to the SetRight needle system if it was once working  
correctly for you and now does not. Investigate other  
problems first.  
Step 4. Attach the glow driver.  
Step 5. Turn the engine over using an electric starter.  
The engine should fire within seconds of applying  
the starter.  
Step 6. Remove the glow driver.  
Step 7. Allowtheenginetorunfor30seconds. Andthen  
adjustthe needle valve for your desired ground rpm. We  
suggest you set the needle valve so the engine is running  
at a fast 4-cycle if you are using the engine for stunt and  
sport applications.  
However, occasionally due to atmospheric, altitudinal  
or fuel conditions, you may find that the range of  
adjustment built into the SetRight needle valve system  
is inadequate for your needs. These conditions are rare  
and easy to fix.  
SetRight Needle Valve Correction  
Should the SetRight needle valve need to be  
adjusted outside of the factory-established  
parameters, simply pull out the detent spring on  
the high-speed needle assembly and move the  
needle valve in the desired direction so the SetRight  
pin passes the spring detent. You now have  
re-established a new range for your purposes.  
Needle Limiters  
In most conditions: With changes in flying field  
altitudes, changes in temperatures, etc., it will be  
necessary to adjust the needle valve. The needle  
has a limiter to restrict the movement to just under  
one full needle turn, more than enough range for  
most conditions.  
Note: We have found that if you rotate the blue  
collar that locks down the needle clip so that the  
setscrew is located adjacent to the actual clip  
itself, this will easily increase the tension on the  
needle clip and hold the needle in place more  
securely.  
If your engine starts from the above procedure, but won’t  
reliably continue to run with the glow driver removed,  
follow the steps above right.  
Note: We have found that the best rpm to start with for  
this engine is to set the needle so the ground rpm is  
9200 - 9500. This will provide a solid 4-stroking style  
run with a 2-4 break when needed. Pick the appropriate  
prop to match the application and airplane. A 4-5 pitch  
prop at these rpms will yield a 5.2-5.4 second lap time  
on 60- to 62-foot lines. We recommend as a starting  
point the mid-sized venturi .236 in (6mm) and an 11 x 4  
to 11 x 5 two-blade propeller.

Why would fuel go “bad”?  
How to tell if your glow plug is bad  
The largest portion of the fuel is methanol (alcohol).  
Methanol is hygroscopic; it attracts moisture. This can  
cause your fuel to be contaminated with water, which will  
cause poor engine performance. Additionally, the UV rays  
in sunlight will eventually break down the nitromethane if  
the fuel jug is stored in sunlight for long periods of time.  
The glow plugs on the market today are designed  
to provide good service to the user and may last a long  
time or a short time, all dependent upon the way you  
choose to operate your engine.  
Physical indications that you might need to change the  
glow plug are:  
How can you tell when your fuel has gone “bad”?  
The first indications will generally be the inability to start  
the engines at previously run needle-valve settings.  
Another clue might be that the engine has very poor idle,  
runs but bogs down tremendously during run up and/or  
will not attain the same rpms that you are used to.  
1. Twisted or mangled glow plug element (usually  
caused by too high a compression ratio).  
2. Small “bumps” are attached to the glow plug  
element. This will generally be most noticeable  
during the break-in process. These are actually  
tiny pieces of aluminum that have attached to the  
element and will severely hinder the operation of  
the glow plug.  
How do I keep my fuel fresh?  
If you have the opportunity, look for someone at a flying  
field on a sunny day who has a jug of fuel that is only  
1/4 full. What you may notice is that there are droplets  
attached to the top and sides of the container. This is  
the moisture in the air that is condensing inside the jug  
because of the greenhouse effect of the semi-translucent  
plastic jug. The only way to overcome the greenhouse  
effect is to store your fuel in a metal can.  
3. The glow plug element is no longer shiny but is dull,  
almost a white powder color. (This just comes with  
age and is a by-product of the catalytic reaction.  
The shinier the wire, the better the catalytic reaction  
can be.)  
Operating indications that you need to change your  
glow plug are:  
1. The glow element will not light with a charged glow  
igniter. This indicates that there is a physical short  
or breakage in the element wire itself.  
2. Glow plug lights but the engine will not continue  
running once the battery is disconnected. (This is  
usually an indication of the microscopic particles  
we discussed earlier.)  
3. Glow plug lights, engine runs but there is a  
perceptible loss of rpm at full throttle when the  
battery is disconnected. This is a typical indication  
that the white powder residue is building to the  
point that the catalytic reaction of the glow plug is  
no longer anywhere close to being optimum.  
You can also combat the effects of the moisture in the air  
by squeezing all the extra air from your fuel container at  
the end of the day or transferring your fuel into smaller  
containers as the level of the fuel is reduced in your  
gallon jug. Many pilots will invest in 1/2 gallon or quart-  
size containers and only bring that amount of fuel to the  
field on any given day. This allows their main supply of  
fuel to stay at home in a controlled storage environment,  
virtually ensuring problem-free fuel.

the engine.  
Troubleshooting Guide  
Engine Won’t Fire  
• Glow starter not charged  
- Charge glow starter  
At the end of every flying session, several drops (about  
10) of after-run oil (Evolution Engine's Blue Block Rust  
Inhibitor) should be applied into the venturi and the  
engine should be flipped over for a few seconds with the  
starter. This will prevent rust and corrosion.  
• Glow plug burnt out  
- Replace glow plug  
• No fuel is getting to the carburetor  
- Check tank, fuel lines reversed  
• The starter is reversed  
If you need additional help or have any questions, please call Horizon’s Service Center.  
Horizon has trained technicians who are qualified to answer your engine questions.  
- Reverse the polarity on the starter cables
