Status: offline 		dpends what fuel you are using???? if you use a fuel that has after run in it you only have to do the after run if it will be sitting for 2 weeks or more....
Since I stopped doing the after run thing every time i run I haven't burnt up 1 plug....
I know it says to remove the glowplug to do after run but I always thought that was a bit risky since there is allways dirt and grit arround the head button and don't always have a can of break cleaner.....did the break in and about 1 gallon so far on the Picco and I just pulled the backplate off of it last night and had a look inside the engine...it looks brand new accept for the brownish red film from the fuel I use....Morgan fuels sidewinder 20%
My point is after run is hard on plugs and its a wasted step(especially WD40) when you use the right fuel.

Status: offline 		i just drop a few drops of trinity ARO in the carb andc rank it over with the plug loose to do after run, then tighten it back up and leave it for however long it may be left for.

Status: offline 		well guys, finally the engine came in. it started last night...idled for like 10 seconds then died...pretty normal for not being up to temps only 6 tanks in. and then it wouldnt fire at all...turns out my ignitor was dead...so i let that charge overnight...and im gonna try it again when i get home from school. do u think its necessary to still heat it up or over the cooling head 6 tanks in? its not even that tight.

Status: offline 		i like to heat all my engines regardless when i can, my LRP z.28 still has that much pinch that when cold it's fairly hard to turn over without the plug in.

Status: offline 		well right now it seems like its hard to keep going unless i give it some throttle. doesnt idle more than ten seconds before it dies. this a problem? i leaned the HSN and LSN a little too...it was so rich it was rediculas.
