Default Engine Break-in Questions

While my advice may not be popular, I have had success after following it. You need to run your engine lean enough to get it to two stroke but rich enough to keep the cylinder temperature down. To reduce the load on the engine, run with the smallest propeller recommended for the engine. What you want is to let the engine heat up so everything seals good and begins to wear but not too hot to distort the metal.
