Ron, my idea is to put that into something as close to structured as possible. Sometimes, questions need clarifications and the whole back and forth might be confusing for some. If I get questions, I will make sure they are shared for the whole group, as everybody should get all the information, tips and hints so that together we will be successful with this little powerhouse

Sounds good, thank you!

Haven't been on in a while. Thanks for your reply!! Yes, I used to run the old 3 port Collari 10 years ago in my off-road days - always like the grunt of that engine.

My GT break in is coming along, think I'm on the 6'th tank now starting to lean a little, just started shifting into second gear - it seems to keep up with others even though blowing smoke on the straight. I've left the bottom rich and just leaning the top needle at this point. I haven't pushed the engine hard as yet but the race is this weekend. Plan to run as is for a couple more tanks before race tune. Its running just over 200 F about 220-230 at empty tank. Any suggestions on that temp, needle settings etc? It's about 85 deg here in Houston, not very humid yet. Thx

The engine will need a good number of additional tanks to become completely free, I usually run about 20 tanks through it before race tuning it.
Even you can still feel the engine getting stuck at TDC, you can race it, but give it a couple laps to get to temperature before you give it full throttle. For the moment, keep the engine running at that temperature. What nitro percentage are you running, and what plug? My prefered settings are 25%, deck height increased by 0,10mm, OS RP8 plug.

You're right still mechanical pinch @ TDC turning over with the plug out.
Running 25% 11% oil, plug that came with engine. I'll run a few more tanks through before pushing it.

Change the plug as soon as you can. The original plug is only for the very initial fase of the break in process. Move to an onroad plug to avoid potential issues.

and raise the deck height too. I really recommend this.

Just ordered the engine and exhaust for my Mugen MGT7! Looking forward to the season with the new engine.

You will love it! Please read through the different recommendations I have posted about the setup of the engine. And for the Mugen, if you are looking for an easy to drive but fast car, go for some real heavy oils in front (I am using 1 million) and in the rear depending on the grip of the track 10k to 30k. With that, the car is very easy to control, consistent and fast.

Sounds good. I stick with 20% mix so won't mess with the deck height. And will definitely take the time to break it in and use the proper plug as you mentioned. Should be a nice bump up from the old bottom of the line engine I was using!

Sounds good! with the 20% Nitro, you will be fine, and I think the OS RP7 will work best for that.
