Bon Jour Bram,

The most important thing when first running you Evader is the breakin. In the original manuals the instructions are wrong. If your manual says to start at 2 turns out on the hi-speed needle and turn down from there, its wrong. Start at 2 1/2 turns and increase (turn counterclockwise) until it just barely runs when you pull away. Run it easy this way for 2 tank fulls, then turn it in (clockwise) 1/8 turn per tank until its running good, gradually running it harder. After 6-8 tankfulls you should be done with breakin and your final needle setting should be around 2 turns out give, or minus an 1/8 - 1/4 turn depending on your weather conditions. I live in Texas and it gets very hot in the summer and we don't run during the heat of the day. Generally, if its above the low 90F, monitor its temperature and avoid any long hi-speed runs. Good luck.
