I'm doing the same for my werks B3 and we'll see how long it lasts
wicked, thats what i always do to. i heat it with a paint stripper. what exactly are you supposed to heat? i heat the blue cooling head a lot, and point it towards the bottom of the engine for a bit, but not too long cuz i dont wannt burn anything.
and i had a SH .28 that wasnt broke in, the first time i ever started it, i ran 2 tanks pretty much WOT.. it doesnt have as much compression anymore even though its only had 3/4 gallon through it... and it was ran very hard. well see once my pullstart gets here if i can get it going. if not. that engine only lasted 3/4 gallon!!
