Breaking in new engine with untuned carbs
« on: April 16, 2014, 09:03:40 pm »
Built a 750 with wiseco big bore kit. Also upgraded to stage 2 cam, optical ignition and dual carb kit. The carbs are untuned and for the few seconds I idled it, it idled high. I've got someone coming to tune the carbs tomorrow but I've only broken in injected car motors. I was wondering if there's some method I should follow to ensure proper seating and prevent damage during break in. Any info, greatly appreciated.

these days i am all for dyno breaking in, just because it gives you so much more control on engine loading and heat cycle. Sitting at a stop light just out of your garage or being held up by slow traffic / speed cameras is not going to do much good to ring sealing....
10-15  @ full throttle pulls,  increasing max rpm each time, change your oil, and you're set. make sure to use mineral for that, then switch to synth.
