RE: Finally!!!
heat cycle the first tank or 2 then proceed with Traxxas method stretching it out to 10 tanks.....always putting the piston to BDC after every run......thats what i did and I have over 2 gallons on this engine and the pinch is still very difficult to turn over by hand..
To seal it look on you tube they have a few video lessons....its easy just apply small amounts of RTV sealant to the baclplate,carb neck and pinch bolt....some guys do the needles as well but I prefer using some green slime on the needle O rings as a sealant.
I run OS LC3 plugs in this engine with Sidewinder 20% and have great luck...SOme guys are using the Mccoy # 59 plug.
The stock settings are in your manual for that engine they are differant than the TRX engines.
Make sure your slipper and gear mesh are set correctly or you will tear up stuff.....also put a Throttle return spring on.
