Default RE: Hyper 7 or Picco? Which is best choice

Don't idle 5 tanks through it!!!!
Get some foil and wrap the head, heat it with a hair dryer or heat gun to 190-200 and start it. It is hard to keep it warm running it rich, so use tin foil and check the temp all the time. Idle one tank... you may need to SLIGHTLY tap the throttle to get it to stay running the first tank. First tank sucks usually.

Now drive it 4 or 5 tanks VERY slow. Using foil and a temp gauge to keep it up around 190-200. Let the temp cool to <100 between tanks.

Now most people would say to start leaning it out and tuning it..... I say lean a little and run 1/2 gallon easy on it, with hardly any full throttle. I do mine at the track and just do boring laps and no big air. And letting it cool between each tank.
