Does the backplate and carb need to be sealed pre break-in? Basically just looking for more information, price is nice, and they look awesome, but there are other motors out there that look great and cheap but are crap in my eyes. I dont want to spend 200 bucks on a 5 gallon paper weight.

Thanks,

YGPM. I saw your PM before the post.


But to reinterate;

They come with a 7&8mm restrictor, P3 or equivelant heat range, I haven't yet seen one with more than a gallon or more and still has pinch and no rod clearance issues, as mentioned before I recommend to air seal EVERY engine.
