Hi man ! (your name ?),
Right now im on my 6 1/2 gallon of fuel through my 7 port .21 engine. Im more than happy with the performance out of him, im using 7mm insert on the carb and im having an average runtime of 8.30 to 9.45 minutes depending on the track and city, using hard clutch (1.1) and GO 0801 pipe.
On the break inn side, i usually break inn my engines this way :
- 1st Tank. Very rich, on the starter box tyres on the air, mid open throttle to wide open, trying to go fast to 80-90°C but always rich.
- Let it cool.
- 2nd Tank. Same as 1st.
- Let it cool.
- 3rd Tank. Same as 1st but i lean it a little and consume the entire tank on blips of medium to full throttle transitions.
- Let it cool.
- 4th Tank. On the track, very rich, 1/4 to 3/4 throttle, lookng for the 80-90°C mark.
- Let it cool.
- 5th Tank. Lean it out.
- Leit it Cool.
- 6th Tank. Lean it out.
- Let it Cool.
- 7th to 10th tank ... RACE MODE !!
at least its what it works for me ... i dont chance rods or anything ... plain stock.
cya !
