A buddy of mine just bought a new 25HP Johnson. How much time do you think he needs to put on the motor before he can open it up for about 30 seconds??<br /><br />Thanks!

Re: Breaking in new motor

You will want to vary speeds for at least the first tank of fuel (break-in mix of 25:1) Some brief high throttle bursts aren't a bad idea, but keep it towards the end of that first tank. If the motor came with a manual, stick to it's procedure.

Thanks! I guess I was trying to push him the wrong direction...He said he's stick to his manual unless someone could convince him otherwise...<br /><br />Thanks again!
