One thing imho 6-8 two min heat cycles first but that's just me lol. One of my personal preferences with a new motor everyone has their own rituals

Well here we go fresh engine, I was suspecting a carburetor issue may be the problem with my other one this one runs completely different! All settled up for a half hour of idling as per break-in. At factory specs on needles as directed.

Only other thing I did to this one was make the pulse port in the engine case slightly larger and chamfer it so it is not closed off at all by the gaskets.

Looking at your pic (off topic) is that one of those hype pulse batteries? If so how do you like them

Curious why you didn't want to try it before making the mod? I'm bored cooking supper lol

Because I'm not going to cobble a throttle servo mount to the top of the engine box on an $800 airplane......pure and simple. Also, their pulse port is slightly mis-aligned from the factory. I am sending them pictures on what needs to be fixed.

Yup, Pulse batteries. Pretty much all I used is Pulse and Glacier packs now that I'm going to LiPo and HV systems.

Engine ran, and ran well. I am completely convinced that I had a bad carburetor now. It's only 60 degrees outside now so I'll do some heat cycles over the next few hours. Maybe go fly it next week, going to be too cold and we have plans this weekend.
