Status: offline 		hey i have a question about bearking in my truck its been a long time sence i broke a nitor motor in so im in the middel of mine and about how much fuel is this thing stpost to burn? im doing the heat cycle method and when you are supost to have the truck off the ground and let it run for 4 minits then cut it off ect and when i get done with that it says i should of used about 2 tanks and im thinking to my self ive onley used 1/4 of a tank if that im running it now and that thing will not burn anyfuel at all. i no someone will start to say who cares about that stuff and ect but im just woundering about it. so no need for the b*&^%ing at me for asking please thanks

Status: offline 		dont worry about how much fuel your using they count tanks as startup and shut down..

run the engine up to operating temps around 200 degrees.. run it around for another min or so and shut it down let it cool completely repeat.. i personally do this for about 12-15 cycles untill the engine feels nice.. slowly leaning the high (1/16th -1/8th turn at a time" to keep it running right and within temps this is after your initial 2 tanks of off ground fuel "which i dont condone or do as it seems to be worse for the engine that good for it"

you can do it more if you like.. or feel safer doing so once your to the point where the engine feels good and is running strong you should be about tuned on the high needle and only need minor adjustment to it then you can set the low and drive it like you stole it.. lol

good luck and have fun

yea im on the 3 of 8 tanks so then i can start to mess with the neddels.
