Breaking it in correctly?
 

I have been breaking my jato in the way they show how to do it on the dvd. The thing is though is that i dont know if its working right.
I have notice improvement after each tank but the motor shuts off sometimes and i have to put my finger over the exhaust pipe to get it started sometimes. Am i doing it right? Its just no one can show me how to do it properly so i need all the help i can get. Thanks.

Hi there

I have a rush evo and it was a ***** to run in.

Here is my advice:

Make sure the mixture is extra rich
If the temerature is too hot then that can effect the running of the engine
have the jato up on a block for the static break-in and make sure the wheels are just moving and not restricted.... if you see the engine reving too much then shut it down with a rag over the exhaust or throttle back a bit ( if you cant throttle back then use the idle stop)
and persisting patience

Just e-mail me if you have any problems on [email protected]

I have broken in many cars and i can help...

seriously dude i would heat cycle the engine it is the better way of breaking in an engine now days the on a block is very old school and can ruin the engine. U need to get the engine up to operating temps right away. here is how to do it and why it is better he is a very experienced with model engines and has a store where he ports and mods engines for poeple here in Australia look for the post by Massive Mods http://nitrobashers.com/forum/viewto...=asc&start=240


hope this helps dude that is what i use for my engines and it works good and it is quicker than the other methods

Heat cycling or the os method are the only 2 that i would use.
