Some clarification from Ron on this would be appreciated.
I just got done breaking mine in. Heres how I did it. After intial idle tank. I let it cool about 30 mins. Restarted tossed on the ground ran slow figure 8ts until temp reached 200 degrees. Let cool back down to 100 did this for 6 tanks gradually tuning and pickin up speed each tank. Last 2 tanks short burst of full throttle. Temp stayed at 240 and below, nice cloud of smoke on exceleration. All done and ready to race. You should use a little less than half a gallon of gas to do this.
