So far, I'm thinking I havn't had any issues either but then again, I've never had an engine last past 3 gallons before. I sold my last engines several years ago before I could see how long they would last.
Now I'm breaking in a Nava Rossi Beat 5 and it ran out of fuel on the first tank. I didn't realize it was out of fuel already. Caught me by surprise.
This is my first really "high-end" engine so I want it to be perfect. Or as close to perfect as I can get it.
