New piston/ring break-in procedure   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #5046 of 5243 |
Ok apparently I didn't try to start the kart enough times or I
flooded it and it started fine the other day. Cool. So I let it idle
at about 1500-2000 RPM I'd guess for about 10 min.

What do i need to do now to break it in properly?

I got an autocross in about 2 weeks so I got some time to get it done,
but I want it done right. Coming from stock class cars to this I have
no clue what I'm doing. :)

Thanks again guys, I appreciate all the help.

David

I didn't hone anything. The 2stroke guy at the yamaha dealership said put it together like this unless the cylinder walls are scored up, if they fix it, if not...

I agree. I've never seen the kart shop hone anything either. If the cylinder is bad enough to need that kind of attention, we send it out for repair and...
