wow I never would have thought this thread would have turned into a mud slinging OS conspiricy theory bunch of confusion.
here is a dose of reality all my OS engines( the only glow brand I happen to own) have been run in by the book they run very well and I really dont think I could wring any more power out of them if I did it any other way.
the reason for 4stroking an engine every few seconds is not to use too much fuel or cause dammage, extra wear, or reduce the longevity of a motor. its to cool the new motor so not to burn it on the first run and properly seat the piston.
seems to me some comments are coming from people who don't have OS engines or won't read the instructions given for a product, which is fine for them but if you are going to dispense accusations that a company is asking you to do something so there product doesn't last long or won't perform at peak eficiancy then prove it.
there is no evidence that I could see that would be the case and OS engines seem to last for decades not a decade, this is for a beginner is it not?
