Didn't know there was a lot of disagreement on this topic...
Anybody who knows a fair amount about this type of engine can tell you 4 cycling it or running it slobbering rich is bad for it. Then they can tell you that the isntructions ARE wrong. There is no disagreement... There is no disagreement that you have to do the opposite for a ringed engine.
I think the reason there aern't more complaints about these engines after break-in is bceause most people don't follow the isntructions ANYWAY. Most will see that the engine runs fine on the first tank and will decide it doesn't need break-in and they will just go fly it. The truth is, that's almost as good as the proper break-in on the ground...
