Pe...that engine wouldn't be a DJ80 would it. The reason I ask is there are not many 80cc to 90cc singles out there. I have a DJ80 I purchased from SDShobby. After only one flight the next time I started it, it seized and I sent it back to China (but will never do that again) They are sending me a new engine but I have to pay another 50 bucks for return shipping. I know, buy cheap buy twice, Any precautions I should take when I receive the next DJ80nc. I broke the first one in slowly with short runs to temp and then letting cool etc. Pennzoil air cooled oil and 32 to 1 mix. Thanks for any info

If you have any photos of that seized engine....would you please post them? Thanks Capt,n
