Engine Leakage
The engine manufacturer advises that due to the specifications of the micro size nitro engine and the manufacturing processes, this may result in some fuel leakage that may be of a higher rate than larger scale nitro engines. The amount of fuel leaked may differ from engine to engine; this is natural and therefore is not considered as a fault or defect.
If you suspect that your nitro engine is faulty and/or has very serious leakage, do not immediately send the engine to your dealer, distributor, or to XRAY for repair or replacement unless instructed to do so. You will need to perform the following initial steps.
1. Take a digital photograph of the engine where it will be clearly visible how much fuel has leaked, and send the photo to
info@teamxray.com
2. Indicate the length of time after running that the leakage occurred.
3. Indicate how many times the engine has been run.
4. Indicate if you have broken or damaged the engine, and if so give details.
5. Provide information about the fuel you are using, particularly the percentage (%) of oil in the fuel.
6. Indicate if the leakage occurs immediately after you start the engine
or only after a period of time. If after some time, indicate the length of time after running that the leakage occurs.
7. Indicate if the leaking was present from the first run of the engine or
if it started afterwards.
8. Indicate where the leak is coming from. Check that the leak is not simply fuel leaking through the exhaust outlet.
9. Check and advise if the O-ring between carburetor and crankcase seats
properly and is in good condition.
10. Indicate if the flywheel and collar are seating properly.
11. Indicate the serial number engraved on the engine crankcase.
12. Indicate the serial number of the kit - printed on the certificate.
13. Provide your full address and daytime and night time telephone numbers as well your e-mail address.
All of this information MUST be e-mailed to
info@teamxray.com BEFORE continuing. This information, including the digital photo, will be provided to the engine manufacturer who will advise if the leaking seems to be standard or not, and what steps to take next.
