Its has high oil content and I can run it rich enough for break-in, and keep 200+F temps. I do use foil on the head to keep temps up sometimes. Novarossi states to use regular fuel, but add extra oil to the first 3 liters of fuel used. Add 5%, 3% & 2% for each respective liter of fuel for break-in.
Use 20% for Break In
