Default RE: Breaking in a Webra .50

If this engine is new.....pull the glow plug and rinse it REAL good with RC fuel as many Italian engines recomend this as it may have metal shavings in her. Use a Sullivan "Dynatron" starter without the glow and DOUSE It REAL GOOD....I use Marvell Mystery Oil on my Norvels! fill with 20 drops marvell or "after run" just to smoothen it out a bit. Run the strater with NO GLOW and the oil in her without overheating the starter. I do this ALL on a stand on wood in my 8" vice on my work bench! Remember the hotter the engine; the colder the glow should be on a Webra. Now if you are using a SYNTHETIC castor at 15%, there is your problem!! Nitro is not the problem........you need AT LEAST 18% REAL CASTOR to run a Webra....not 18% SYNTHETIC but REAL CASTOR as it has a "higher flashpoint temp" than synthetic.....meaning the synthetic STOPS being a lubricant at a lower temp. I see "Morgan" all over......GOOD stuff, but it will TOAST a 2-stroke REAL FAST! It has top ingredients; but so many manufacturers recommend "POWERMASTER" in their dirrections ....it's not funny! They ALL recommend it! Get Powermaster (in the blue can) with 5 or even 10% nitro and you will see a MAJOR difference. If you live in a cold climate...it is time for 10 and 15% nitro.........we use 10 to 15% here in Florida and at HIGHER altitudes you need a HIGHER nitro!! They ALL recomend 18 to 22% real Castor and SIG is the ONLY fuel with a true 22% REAL CASTOR to lube her and keep her cool when running!!

The Slip!!
