James; I remember Ed Fisher telling my father and I almost the same thing around 25 yrs. ago. Should have listend better. :unsure: Greg

On my aircooled .12s I mask off the fins and run it on the bench till it gets good and hot. Let it cool and do it a few more times. I agree though.. Fitting the P/L when it's hot and at it's largest dim is the bet way to go...

Hi Guys.

I am new to this. I have a JD WOF 30, that I have just finished.

I have a new OS that is going on it. Why do OS recommend running them rich, when clearly it is not the way to go.

So when I break it in just follow Jims steps and go, correct?.

I fly helicopters with ringed engines which is the complete opposite.

Rick I follow Jims advice he has been in this a long time

I have been in the sport 20 years and this is what Jim Irwin told me 20 year ago and I have two nova rossi that have the same piston and sleeves and still run great.I do'nt break in a engine ,take it out and run the dog sh''t out of it.

 

[RickT]

Thanks Guys.

Thats what I am going to do.

 

[jaxracer]

Thanks Guys.

Thats what I am going to do.

Now before you do this notice Mr. Irwin said an ABC type sleeve. The OS uses a nickel plated sleeve. Many guys have had a problem with the nickel chipping off from running too lean.

[RickT]

Now I am really confused.

Even with a nickel plated sleeve do you still break it in as above,or run it rich for the first few tanks?.

Hey Dion.

I am out in the South Eastern, part of Melb. In Cranbourne.

I got into boats RTR stuff.

Then I started flying Helicopters. Now I am doing both, just finishing up a WOF 30 with a OS.

Need to hook up the linkages, and a few other things.

I go down to Aura Vale Lake a bit, but the rangers get shitty because of the noise.
