hi guys,

it´s my first post here, so i´m reacivating this thread...
i got my sts .28 some weeks ago, she burned now about 1,5 gallons of
sidewinder 25, with plug os a5, sts 0403 pipe and temeratures about 120°C.

the power is ok, but there is also the possibility to lean her till she´s going like crazy.
if i do this, the temp is ging up to 160°C.

does it mean the engine is still in break-in process?


the next thing is:
i´m reading allways about sealing carb and backplate.
what does it mean? do you use some sealing-paste, or just replace the o-rings?
my lsn is not very tight, i can turn it very, very easy,
nearly that it could self-adjust by running.
do i have to put new o-rings in it, or what?

engine and garb are dry, nothing leaking...
