ENGINE BREAK-IN
Breaking in your new engine is critical for proper performance. Failure to follow the break-in procedures can cause engine
damage and shortened engine life. Always use a 14:1 gasoline:oil mixture during the break-in process and when running
the engine.
If you change fuel or run in dramatically different environments (hot/cold, high/low elevation, etc.) you will need to adjust
the carburetor needles to prevent overheating and maintain proper performance. Never allow the engine to rev freely with
the wheels off the ground.
Use the optional Dynamite Pro Temp Gun with Laser Sight (DYNP2000) to check engine temperatures.
ENGINE TEMPERATURE LOCATION
Engine temperatures are measured on the side of the engine
block and not at the top of the head like a traditional nitro
engine.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
CAUTION: You must complete the break-in process on a smooth surface, such as pavement or concrete. Do not
drive the vehicle on dirt or grass during the break-in process; doing so will damage the engine.
Priming the Carburetor
Before turning on the vehicle, install the spin-start on the engine. Hold your finger over exhaust tip and press the spin-start
button for one second to prime the carburetor. Stop the spin-start. With the spin-start still installed, remove your finger from
the exhaust tip and press the spin-start button for two seconds.
Unlike nitro engines, do not allow the gasoline engine to idle for several tanks. Allowing the engine to idle prevents the
engine from reaching operating temperature.
