hollywood2979 1 #2 Posted June 6, 2015 Hi, my name is Luis, may I ask about the engine as I have a White Heat V boat minus the engine, are they really hard to find and are they very expensive? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #3 Posted June 7, 2015 Welcome to the forum! Engines should be fairly easy to find if you go with an air cooled engine. The water cooled engines are a bit tougher to find but they're out there too. Just do a search on ebay for Ohlsson Rice The Octura mount and out drive might be a bit tougher to find but also can be found with patience and persistence.

Racer59 0 #5 Posted February 4, 2016 Good afternoon Walfish!! Question about your O&R. How do you like the way it run with the nitro? What carb setting is best? What percentage of nitro and oil you use? Pull start and a glow plug initiates the start right? Thanks. Racer59 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #6 Posted February 4, 2016 :WMOM:Racer59 Unfortunately I have never run any of my glow plug engines because I don't have the fuel. The RC engines are just part of my collection. I'm sure a local hobby shop which sells RC nitro fuel can help you with the correct fuel to use. The carb setting will need to be adjusted with the engine running to get the best performance for each condition it is running in. To initiate the start with a glow plug, you will need to attach a 6v battery to the glow plug. This will heat the little coil inside the plug to ignite the fuel and then the battery connection is removed. The combustion of the fuel will keep that little coil hot enough to keep the engine running without the battery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
