breaking in problems
 

Today i just finished putting my new piston and sleeve in my 2.5 engine. My question is are the breakin setting hsn=4 turns out lsn= flush and idle=1mm gap i need a answer soon because i want to break it in tomorrow thanks.

RE: i need an answer before tomorrow
 

ya thats the settings for a good starting point i wouldprolly run a half turn richer though

RE: i need an answer before tomorrow
 

ok thanks. i just dont want to mess up this one so i was just making sure.

RE: i need an answer before tomorrow
 

ok well today i tried to break it in but it dont want to start. it keeps killing my starter batteries and the starter gets hot. i dont know wat to do with it now i tried factory and other settings to get it started but it dont want to. im thinking of leaving it till tomorrow since its so hot here.

RE: i need an answer before tomorrow
 

did you try a different glow plug?

RE: i need an answer before tomorrow
 

i changed it to a new plug before i tried to start it. but my batts are charged so im going to try 1 more time

Get a heat gun (a hair dryer will work but not as well) and preheat the engine, loosen the glow glug a little bit to relieve some compression (you'll have to use a seperate glow ignitor and retighten the plug once the engine starts), prime the engine by taking the preasure line loose from the pipe and blowing into it until the fuel JUST REACHES the carb, in extreme cases you can take the glow plug out and shoot a VERY SHORT shot of WD40 into the glow plug hole.
Break in can be a real pain. Especially the first few starts but it's well worth keeping your cool and doing it right.
Good luck
