As a noob I didn't ask for help on my first engine, I read and saw where it said for smoke, on my next engine I learned but with the Cody King engine it never ran right from the start and I was baffled and I had no support from my LHS or Orion. Instead of trying to "THINK" that you know me or trying to "OUT" me maybe you should focus on what my post was regardless of what happened my entire point was that running any engine overly rich is not good for it. But instead of you trying to out someone why don't you try to help someone.
So you did have problems with more than one orion engine...You think having problems with multiple orion engine,Set your theory in stone?You even say most all orion engine in vietnam dont run right. I am trying to help you understand that what you saying in GENERAL that running lsn overly rich in not going to kill the front bearing,This is not completely true.Some people do this,when they are ether breaking in the engine they run about 10 to 15 tanks and then you start to lean out,So that is why I asked you if you ran that thing rich the hold 4 gallons or You just never change a 8$ bearing.Is not that I trying to OUT you,Is just you are not trying to lisend at all what I am trying to tell you.You say,You say had One bad & good orion engine and that it,you discover some thing new.Think back of so many people that break in ther engines with factory setting (Two overly rich needles) and get 8 to 10 gallons on ther mills.Look man like I said,Do what ever works for you.
