The performance level of the engine will be limited by the “rich’ fuel mixture which you will use all during the break-in process.
Pull Starter Hints seconds so try and keep it running by blipping the throttle. Tighten the glowplug while the engine is running if possible. If the engine has stalled restart with the plug tightened. The above procedure hould always be followed from cold or if difficulty with starting is being experienced. The pull starter as fitted to most of the entry level engines is, if treated correctly, the easiest and most cost effective method of starting an engine. As with every silver lining, there is a cloud.
Glossary of Carburettor Functions Cooling Problems Engine overheating is most often caused by running the engine too lean or because the cooling air for the cylinder head is blocked. If the mixture is too lean, simply allow the engine to cool, richen the mixture and try it again. Bodies must have holes cut in them to allow for cooling air to circulate over the surface of the cylinder head.
