I recommend Heat cycling the first tank of fuel at anidle. Shutting it down approximatly every 5 minutes, then let it cool down completly, then do it again till the first tank is gone. this will usually be about 3to 4 cycles on th first tank. Then I like to idle a non stop next tank. let cool. Then start doing the figure 8's. The 2 idle tanks just puts less stress on the engine for that fisrt run in time which has a lot of stress on it. When you are driving around even if you are driving slow you are still adding to the stress of the internal components.


And I alwaysm ake sure I am rich but not puking rich, which is hard on the engine as well as liquid fuel does not compress and adds stress to to the process. So you want it rich but not disgustingly rich"if you know what I mean"


Everyone has has different ways but I think and from all my years doing this its a for sure safe way to do it that always yeilds good results.



Ill keeep an eye out for your stuff and let you know when it gets here.

Thanks again,
Lance
