New To gas-Help ZDZ50
I'm new to gas engines and am picking up a practically new ZDZ-50. I'm wondering what kind of oil to use, ratio to break it in, best prop on this engine, etc. Anything to help! Also what is a good setup for fueling? Same as glow or is it different? Thanks for any help!

If it is still new then use a 40:1 ratio on your gas mix. If it has a couple of gallons threw it then mix it 50:1. Any good synthetic oil is good. I use klotz in mine available at any motor cycle shop. Some guys swear by amsoil. But any good synthetic oil will do.

The factory has suggested a 40 -1 mix -accross the board .
I run 32-1 Klotz Model lube -or Redline Racing at 32 -1 - both work well.
The real key is not the lube as much as how you set the engine and how you you control heat - that is -use correct sized props for the job -

Ok sounds good so far. What kind of prop would you suggest on this engine? Anyone run it and found the best combo? I think it's coming with a 20x8 or 22x8 don't remember exactly. Thanks again for any help!!
