I recently got my ET-1 aka M90 engine. And I only found this forum today. So, based on knowing nothing except what I watched in one video, I mixed some Coleman fuel and 20% MMO  :o and have been running my engine on it and it seems very happy with this fuel. I also put some grease on the gears and light oil on every other moving part. The first time I started it I let it run all the fuel and it lasted about 30 minutes. I then ran a second tank and 30 minutes. I saw a video about removing one spring from the regulator to slow down the idle and I did that. The person who's video I watched about the engine warned me to not run the engine for 30 minute stretches because the piston ring is only an o-ring and long run times would probably damage it. So now I run a few minutes at a time.

I really enjoy this engine. It is one of the most fun miniature engines I have run.

BTW, how is the timing adjusted?
