I heard there's a great break-in method out there...
Yes, there is a specific breakin procedure that allow the rings to seat properly and prevent cylinder scoring during start up and it WILL increase the life of your motor !! I think Gator mentioned it is on page 45 of this thread, simple and easy to follow directions, it takes roughly 45 minutes to complete and it Will add years to the life of your motor !!
Hey guys really enjoy the thread, learned a lot on here so far. Just got my first power auger, a 10 inch Z51. I was going to follow the break in method as well, just had a question about letting it idle for 10 minutes. My owners manual states not to let the auger idle for extended periods of time, I assume this means like an hour and the 10 minutes is just fine?
I wouldnt let any 2 stk idle to long. It wont do any damage really but it will start to carb up and loose some its perfomance..... Guys that troll alott with 2 stk outboards see it alot.... Its always good to crack open the throttle a while after letting any 2 stk engine idle for any amount of time to burn it off....
Pop open them bottles boys!!! After hearing about the bad news with the MO I had acquired off CL, and after I just bought the ol lady a ring last weekend, she told me that she will order me a brand new auger as an engagement gift!!!! Now, Surf.. you said you might wanna take this thing off my hands? Guy at the shop says it'll need a piston and rings.. I thought about doing it myself but why tinker with it when i have a brand new one (soon) to play with... I bought it for 80 and gave 20 to the shop.. I'll be making the final decision soon!! well, she might make the decision for me after bringing more (she calls it junk but knows it makes papa happy) into the house.. OH BTW, I got on the ice the other day!! Massabesic in NH had about 4-5 inches of black ice on the edges.. no flags but had a blast by myself.. and met the yacht marina boss man and we shared some old sailor stories hahaha.. cheers guys!!
