White gas for the HK Pulse jet
I have seen it mentioned in other posts but is really OK to run white gas (Coleman fuel) in my HK Pulse jet. I am new to pulse just so I am just wondering. Thanks

Yes it would be absolutely fine to run this fuel. And the metering jets supplied are setup for this fuel.

Thanks Robert, I have also watched videos of people using starting fluid to help light their pulse jets. That sounds like it would be bad for the pulse jet. Your thoughts?

It is a shame that hobby King stopped selling these engines as they were actually pretty good in the end. Some people were getting good flights in the control line fraternity. I designed my t34 model for them and sold 50 kitsets around the world. Still make them when required but the shipping cost is the killer.
