X1XCR SH 25 BREAK IN HELP


Recommended Posts

hi folks started breaking in my x1xcr buggy in yesterday

wondering if i am doing this right?

any help would be appreciated.

HSN 3 turns out

LSN 3 turns out

idle : 1mm

Yesterday

  1. heat the engine up to 60 degrees c with a hair dryer then ran tank 1 at idle and temp never went above 70 degrees c
  2. let it cool at BDC
  3. ran tank 2 at 0-1/4 throttle watching the temp it never went above 90 degrees c , had to turn the Lsn is 1/8th of a turn clockwise as it was cutting out when touching the throttle. tested at end of tank by pinching the fuel line and the engine revs went up a little then cut off.
  4. let it cool at BDC and put some after run oil in.

Today

  1. ran tank 3 let the engine heat up then ran at 0-1/4 throttle and the temp went up to 110 degrees c.
  2. let it cool at BDC.
  3. ran tank 4 ran at 0-1/2 throttle and kept the temp up at 90-110 degrees degrees c
  4. let it cool at BDC and put some after run oil in.

had to head home because of the rain :-(

when i come off the throttle the temp drops down slowly ..

am i on the right track?

Sounds cock on to me dude.

Carry on like you are and your engine should last a long time.

As you have already mentioned, give the engine time to warm up a bit before putting any pressure on it (like driving).

Not long till you'll be WOT. whoop

Yep your doing fine don't worry about temps too much in the early stage they're usually all over the place...but having said that don't let them get above 120C. You may want to richen the HSN abit whilst you go upto full throttle on the next few tanks. If you can keep the engine about 100 for breakin thats perfect. Keep it abit rich for the next 3-4tanks then tune it !!! Good Luck

excellent cheers guys :-)

al start off tank 5 to 1/2 throttle

tank 6 to 3/4

tank 7 to 1/4,1/2, 3/4

then tank 8 to full throttle

then the joys of tuning :-)

the fuel and smoke are still flying out of the exhaust so its running very rich :-)

had to reset the hsn , factory was set to 2, 1/2 turns. so i reset it to 3 turns
