Re: 70 hp break in process
Birdman,<br /><br />It would basically be the same as a new engine.<br /><br />If I remember right, it goes something like this.<br /><br />1. Double mix oil/gas (25:1 or two pints to six gallons.<br /><br />2. Operate at idle only for first 20 minutes.<br /><br />3. Operate at no more that 3000 rpm for another hour-varying speed periodically.<br /><br />4. The next hour, short bursts of wide open are OK (not to exceed 30 seconds) and to get the boat on plane only. Do not exceed 3500 continuous.<br /><br />5. The most important thing is the constant varying of speed.
