Started the break-in for the old (new)Fox 15 slant plug yesterday. It's intended for my son's Jr Flite Streak.
I ordered some SIG Champion 15% nitro, 20% all castor fuel and poured about 12 oz out, into my old fuel to "spike" the nito a little. Then I added 8 oz of castor to the SIG fuel. This got my castor up to a hair over 25%.
Ran about 4 oz through the engine at a fast 4 cycle in 2-3 minute runs. Then anoher 4 oz in two seperate runs, varying the needle between just breaking into 2 cycle for about 30 seconds or so, then back to fast 4 cycle. Naturally I let the engine cool between runs. By the 4th run the engine started easily with only 3-4 flips. So far it seems like a great little engine. I'll run it some more tonight and see if that perception remains.
Any hints or tips for me on break-in of this critter?
Thanks
Tim
