Default RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

I got to run my engine today. It went well i guess... My miracle tach decided that it wouldnt work in the cold. wouldnt pick up any reading at all. I brought it home, and tested on the fan, and it works fine. Only difference is that its 20C in the house, and 3C outside. They state that the operating temp is 0-30C and a max RH of 80%, so i guess thats probably why i was having troubles. But for now, im finished testing this engine, until it gets warmer, and the 18-8 prop gets here. I now have about 3.2 hours on this engine, running 87 octane fuel and castrol grand prix motorcycle oil mixed at 32:1.
