Well there's a few things I'd do off the bat.
Put a proper load prop on it and use regular unleaded fuel with 40:1 synthetic oil for starters.
I'd personally get rid of the inline filter as well.
I have a 23x8 that I intended to install as soon as I had 3 gallons through the engine. I can throw that on sooner than later.
Question about the mix, though - DLE specifies a 30:1 ratio - is it generally accepted to deviate from this as the engine breaks in?
