I want to do this right so what is the best way to break it in ? Thanks

The same way you break in a lawn mower

Give it hell!

Drive it like you stole it.

run it how u are going to run it all the time. if u baby it now and run the sh ti out of it later u going get into your problems

run the hell out of it

x2 on drive it like you stole it! Don't let up on her!

PM River and see if he can send you a couple quarts of his specially formulated oil designed to be run in your engine during da break in stage.

Hell yeah fill 'er up with super, 8 cans of octane booster, bust the governor off and gag 'er!

idle away from the dock then WFO.

RIGHT WHEN YOU HEA R YOUR VALVES GOING OOOOOUUUUUCCCCCHHHH,NOW YOU ARE DOING WORK

Exactly what they said...If you bought a brand new lawn mower would you be worried about breakin it in..HELL NO..You would filler' up with gas and oil and mow the shit out of that grass and never look back so do the same with your new motor..

let me borrow it for a week or two

Drive it like a Hot Chick just called you to go home and do her and you got to get home in under 10min's.

Drive it like a fat chick on the way to the donut shop!!!!!!

really though crank it up but a rubberband aroun the throttle and grip and have a 25 gallon gas tank hook up and let it run till the tanks dry.

WFO.. Just like ur lawnmower.

This is the way I broke mine in

This engine had 2 hours on it



Pullin him out



This is with 10 hrs on it

Dayum brad ! Yep I like to grind on a stump n maurepas swamp wfo for bout a hour. Dat will break her in!

I can't believe there is a topic out there that everyone actually agrees on no matter what they're driving

Straight from the Briggs site

You will have confilicting info back and fourth This is not a high performance application IMO so just keep fluids toppe doff and run it to your pleasure and chage the olil after about 15 hours and then once a year after that.

I believe most would agree to disagree with the Briggs link in the previous thread. I do not recommend running synthetic until you have at least 50 hours on the engine.

It is all preference, I changed my oil to syntheic after 15 hours and never looked back. I broke it in with various situations and loads. It is all preference on oil choice, some like Dino oil and some like the synthetic. It all lubricates, but when looked at the Molecular structure from dino to synthetic my choice is made.
