Bike racers do that cos it's far better to discover the engine will blow in the test track than half way thru you winning yr race. K

Or just try RTFM...

Flat out for short periods as I said a few days ago, this maximises the early bedding in of piston to cylinder and limits building up too much heat that can cause issues.

With 10:1 chain oil instead of two stroke, and three hours of steady mid throttle running while strapped to the roof of a transit?

Just run it flat out, then?

Did you get an answer?

 

I would be interested into how the forestry people run in their new saws. As an arb I just ran it flat out but with arb its not like it was flat out constant all day. So I advise to run as you normally would but if its for extended periods then let it cool down now and the until you have at least 5 ish tank fulls of fuel.

Might have an old 48" .404 "spare" chain if you want?
Haven't got a 48" bar but bizarrely I do have a brand new 17" 3002 mount bar
Could mill some 12" stuff?[emoji848]
