Default engine breakin

I assume this question has been asked and answered many times on this forum so could somebody point me to an article on breaking in a new 2 stroke engine?

Thanks a lot,
Les

It depends on whether the engine is a ringed engine or an ABC engine. If it's a ringed engine, run it sloppery rich for the first couple of tanks. If it's an ABC or ABN engine, run it at full throttle near peak rpm, probably around 500 rpm on the rich side.
