speaking of breaking in the engine..... are you running diesel engine oil as per the
Hi Bob
I've gone with 30W detergent oil though did add a two quarts of 20W when the oil line T broke off. I went over to running synthetic 2 cycle oil mixed with the gas when breaking in an engine a few years ago, something like the 50 to 1 ratio to start and then less as things go along. I also lube the engine parts like crazy with the gooey assembly oil. Then before fire an engine I put the block heater on it bring it up to 120F prime the oil system up to full pressure with the drill driving the oil pump. Then I turn the engine over by hand or with the starter with the drill driving the oil pump. Let it sit then do it again the next day before trying to start the engine.
