 Re: Break in period
It s a lawn mower engine. Change your oil after the first 5 hours. Thats about it.

 Re: Break in period
For me, the cavitation plate bolting hardware seems to be a real bad actor...even with Locktite.

 Re: Break in period
I picked up my PD last week. I ran it for about an hour and dumped the oil replaced it with some cheap 5W - 30 then ran the piss out of it last weekend. Changed the oil and filter replaced the oil with some good synthetic 5W - 30. I put about 7 hrs on it this weekend.

 Re: Break in period
The warranty is your break in period.
They give you 3 years to try and blow it up for free.
