What Oil and fuel mix?
What Prop are u running?
Is this fully stock engine configuration?
Do you know if you have the updated piston?
I doubt that you hurt the motor You might have some dirt in the carb.
I haven't checked but you should be able to get it so rich it quits.
I wouldn't mess with the idle mixture until you have 4-5 tankfuls through the engine.
Sparky
I’m using a 15:1 mixture with 93 octane pump gas and Klotz super techniplate oil.
Prop is a 2 blade 22x8 xoar
The only thing that isn’t stock is that I am using a Saito brand collector ring
I am unsure if it is the updated piston. Is there a way to tell?
I saw someone had to get 7 turns out on high speed before they saw the drop. This just seems incorrect for some reason. So far I’ve only run 1 tank. I’ll continue the break in next time I get some good weather. I’m in northeastern Kentucky so those days are currently few and far between.
