martin34 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Glad to hear you got it ok and got it running.Like Terminator said the Dom will be quite a bit louder but make that alot louder than the standard pipe.Now i am no expert with petrol but i have been told on HBF that when i fit my dom richen both needles by about a quater of a turn to start with and tune from there.I have seen afew people end up at around factory settings again once tuned but of course weather and fuel mixture can make a difference to where the settings end up.Hope that helps.

Joe Tosh Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi mate,good to here your in love again you'll just have to tweak the mixture as and when needed but takes these engines a fair bit longer to bed in than nitro,you can feel in the performance when it starts to loosen up properly and just adjust it then. I've got a question about breakin' in a 2-stroke engine. It was my belief they didn't have to be run in at all actually?? I have five 2-stroke garden machines, never broke them in and they all perform fine. A baja 5B engine is in fact nothing more than a chainsaw or leaf blower engine isn't it? Got a new Stihl 2 months ago, used it full throttle for 3 days right from the start and it's perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmw nut Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 soft run in was common in the old days,newer machining proscess's and metal quality has all but eliminated the need for any running in,the main thing is to make sure the piston rings seat properly right away so you get max power,pootling around wont do you much good as you will get more blowby on the rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc__killer Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 allso garden strimmers and alike dont rev has high as the car engines because they use all the low end power rather than reving the nutts out em thats why they dont need running in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard a chainsaw or brushcutter rev like mad?? You're talking bout 4-stroke lawnmowers and stuff, that's correct, the don't rev high, as they don't need to and weren't built on that purpose.

Most people avoid using WOT for more than a few seconds on the first run and that works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
