ORIGINAL: le fou

...I have a manual. Did you run the engine at half throttle per manufacturer's instruction? I thought that DarZeelon recommended not to do that.

Le Fou,

Running the engine at half-throttle achieves nothing in a tapered-bore engine, because the engine will be very slow to reach its normal operating temperature.
It will probably do no damage, though...

But at the same time, I do not see what the manufacturer thinks can be achieved, in recommending that the customer does that...

Can you scan and post that page in the manual, or the whole thing?
