RB WS7III
My registration for the RB Concept forums was declined for some reason so I'm hoping someone can provide some insight for me. Perhaps someone who has had a WS7III or experience with RB engines.
I'm trying to perform the RB style break in on my WS7. Which calls for idling 125CC through it on the box. I can get it started and running just fine, but it's the temperatures. It temped as high as 244º just idling. I thought maybe my temp gun was giving me false readings, so I dropped some water near the glowplug and it immediately sizzled and evaporated. I had started with a foil wrapping over the head, but immediately realized that wouldn't be necessary.
It's blowing a fair bit of smoke, and leaving a good coating of oil on my patio slab. If I try to richen it any further on the low end, it will stall. I can richen it a bit further if I leave the glow igniter on the whole time it's running, but the engine still runs 220-240º.
I added a shim so I could run Sidewinder 30%. I'm using a JP-3.
Any thoughts?
