Ran on tick over with a little revs every few seconds for 3 tanks.

As this worked out well for you, fair enough......perhaps if only at tickover with the flywheel fan keeping it cool enough it may be ok.... but with 2 strokes very little fuel = very little oil.

 

When running in or even just normal running of a powerful 2 stroke dirt bike for instance you keep it gassed up as much as poss... not necessarily using all it's power but blipping the throttle constantly to put as much fuel through as possible, I must admit to doing this with my saws even just in normal use......old habits die hard....just my take on it, cheers.

I'm no mechanic,
I was told to stick an extra teaspoon of oil in my mix for the first few tanks, which I did.
Pulls like a proverbial.
It can mill 42" wide semi seasoned oak heart 12' long in a few minutes.
Takes a full tank though.

Too much oil is just as bad.

Totally agree, at the end of the day it's all about temperature, with the correct mixture just keep it gassed up..... basically only thing that needs bedded in is the piston ring in a modern engine.?

Thinking about it i doubt if hardly anything today needs running in..... if it did it would be a nightmare for the manufacturers.

I remember years ago a farmer got a new tractor. In an effort to protect his vast investment he wanted to break it in gently, he filled the tank and left it on tickover all day.

 

Completely corked up the engine, had to go back to the dealer for a strip down and de-cork.

This also " glazes " the rings and bore so the ring don't bed in .

Yup.... He should have put it on the slurry pump / stirrer instead for a while. Glased the bores up good i bet!
