Default RE: ABC Fourstroke Engine Help Needed !!!!!!

After you start it, close the needle until the engine is running as fast as it
will go. Then open the needle until the engine just begins to slow down a bit.
You will hear it. That type of engine is much tighter when new, and will get
quite hot, until you get some runs on it. Only run it for a few minutes at a time
then let it cool off. If you had a tach, you could richen (slow down) the engine
about 3-400 rpms, and it would be plenty rich enough to not overheat.
