Started break-in today and everything is going great. Although the engine is tight, it still is a pretty hassle free break-in. I think the biggest thing that might give people problems is the original plugs. If I would have missed Rex's post about it not working well, I might have had a lot more issues. Just like Rex and Lance said, the original plugs flame as soon as you take the igniter off the engine. I tried to make it work but after the second time, I just grabbed a OD 97T and it worked great.

I had to raise the idle and lean the HSN a little to complete the first tank and after that all has been smooth. I am only on tank 4 but have soom work to do and I'm hoping I can get back to it and finish it up today. I also shot a little video footage of how the engine is running during break-in. After I am completely finished, I will post it up. I can tell this engine wants to rev, even on break-in.
