Homebrewer,

I broke the engine in according to the instructions in the manual, or at least as close as I could.

I may be guilty of running the engine lean a few times as I changed my prop from a 11x7 to a 10x6 but didnt change the needle settings. I put a few flights on before I realized the engine was really hot.
Once they tell me whats wrong with it then I will know fo sure. I can say that I have learned a lot on my first engine and I think I can make my second engine last a lot longer.

I may just go with the Magnum, but its hard not to go with the O.S stuff with the warranty and all. Of course this will be my first time dealing with O.S so I will decide if I will buy another one of thier motors once this situation is over.
For now I think I might just grab a magnum.

THanks for the suggestions
