[NSRCA-discussion] A really big thank you to everyone whomadethe Weak Signals Precision Aerobtics contest a success

[Atwood, Mark]

Did you break the engine in at idle for a while before allowing it to be run up to full throttle?  These engines can be REALLY tight when they first arrive.  Richard advised not running the engine past an idle for the first few tank fulls.  

On my engine (I know...not a good example for the weekend) I was barely able to get the engine to idle below 4000rpm for the first tank.  After that it got progressively better quickly and by the third tank I could sit steady at 2100.  At that point I began running it up and setting the top end.  Other than stripping the head this weekend trying to replace a glow plug (and forgetting to fuel it in the semi's at the nats!) it's been running really well.

I'm not sure what NOT breaking it in will do.  Troy??

Is this a relatively new engine?

Thanks for the YS advice. Tonight I will check the valve clearance, fuel lines, and plug. Then tomorrow, out  to the field to look at that HS Needle.
