@Irongamer727 and don’t worry about Fouling plugs if you add oil to the tank as well as autolube I was running 165ml of oil to 5ltr of fuel aswell as enriched auto lube for months with no issue I was a bit paranoid I don’t recommend doing it though
-
@irongamer727 I never recorded hours or miles so yeah and also after break in @Calum made me stop lol
-
O my god what a relief! Athena is up and running! Jesus Christ I have never ever been so afraid of something going wrong. Hopefully the worst part is over. Still afraid a circlip will come loose and mess EVERYTHING up. But, I've done my best, bring on the summer
-
@irongamer727 nice one bud.
-
Hopefully you will keep us updated with how you like it, as you clock some miles on her

@jens-eskildsen sure will

I'm getting more acquainted with the brake in procedures. I've always thought you couldn't be too careful running an engine in. Obviously I was wrong. The fact that idling can glaze the bore scares me! I mean you need a good 20 minutes to bled the cooling system of air.
Guess a moderate run in with a bit of variation of revs is preferable. -
I always thought it was giving it too much chst before thr rings have bedded in causes glazing.
Either way, get it runing and put some miles intonit before hammeringnit. That's my advice. Two strokes don't last forever so it's a moot point if it lasts +-1k miles. The main thing is getting that fueling spot on.

@declan ideally you want to warm it up to operating temperature with cap off. That way you know there won't be excessive amounts of air once you're out riding. My radiator started pissing out coolant through the overflow hose due to improper bleeding.

@irongamer727 so I just let it spill out?im pretty sure I managed to get all the air out of mine
