Break in time

[agostini]

I've got about 125 careful, partial throttle miles on my '84 Aero 50, with new piston rings and honed cylinder.

Is this thing broken in yet?

Thanks

I'd say absolutely. Figure ~4 hours run time and dozens of heat cycles? Time to see Whottle She Do?

I can't belive that you waited this long. Only brand new bores need that level of break in.

Cool, thanks for your replies.

Went full throttle several times today - kinda feels/sounds like a chain saw with a stuck, open throttle, but it'll sure go - I can feel the additional power with the higher revs.

I sure appreciate the advice.

if you use standard 2 stroke oil you are good, for synthetic oil it can take up to 700 mi. for the crosshatch to disapear.
