Default RE: Four-Cycling a Two-Cycle Engine

Don't break the engine in in 4 cycle mode!!!!!!!!!!!

There have been several threads on here about it...four cycling in the breaking in period doesn't allow for proper liner expansion due to low temperature, and it will end not smoothing the surfaces but in a premature wear..loss of compression...

The engine should be broken in with a smaller prop allowing it to run at a higher rpm, still in 2 stroke operation, running rich but not four cycling...the small prop allow the engine to turn high rpms without higher loads.

Dar Zeelon wrote a complete breacking in procedure for ABC/ABN that works the best, do a search here.
