Hi,

i hva question regarding the break in process. I don't want to ruin the motor. For the info i have found on the web and on the manual, it is suposed to do the break in with the stock needle settings for the carb. But in the case that the engine is too rich on the stock carb settings, i mean very rich, do i have to leave the stock settings? or i can adjust a little the low end needle?

Thanks.
 
If it's too rich to run or floods badly when you try to start you will have to adjust needles. Can't break it in if it won't run just lean like 1/32 of a turn until it idles reliably. I wouldn't go below 1 1/16 out on break in though.
