and I was told it is based off an STS .12 engine. My question is I have run over a gallon of fuel though it and still has not broken in yet. My problem is i'm having a hard time getting 5 minutes out of a tank of fuel. Should I just lean it up and hope for the best? Or keep running rich until it loosens up some more.

Thanks for the help, Neil
The engine is a bit tight. Try to lean the engine "a little" and keep the engine running temperature around 100C(212F). What air temperature there?
