I haven't done that in ages, run a engine inside of the house. The last time I did it caused a family riot from all of the fumes.
I was test running a K&B outboard engine and boat in the bathtub.

![]() ![]() Tomorrow I will go on with full break in at 50 km away flight site.I hope some more videos too. I also recommend to play with timing because mine was having some backblowing during start attempts and after a little retard no such thing and easier start.Gas is 98 octane unleaded pure gasoline. Here is bench configuration

I used to always use a mineral oil to break in a engine with, but maybe it really isn't necessary to do that. It might be a "myth" of sorts that developed over time. The other issue is most synthetic oils you buy are really blends of mineral and synthetic oils. They like to use cute catch phrases to hide it, those marketing folks at it like usual. Plus even a can that says it is 100% synthetic may not really be really all synthetic oil as they like to modify the definition of it.
I tend to use a blend of mineral and synthetic oils and I use the air cooled two stroke oil over the other types. But after I get the engine broke in pretty good, I'll try to find a real 100% synthetic oil and switch to it. I went with using a smaller fuel tank and running the engine for a few minutes and letting it cool off and then running some more. I think heat cycling the engine probably breaks it in faster ans the parts and heating up, expanding, and then cooling off some, and you repeat the process. I also switch to breaking in the engine on the plane later too, no sense spending lots of time on the ground watching fuel drain from the fuel tank a lot. But when breaking it in on the plane you have to run it more rich and not fly at full throttle all the time either. Must new cars be broken in using mineral oil? answer: No. AMSOIL Synthetic motor oils are safe to use during break-in. In fact, many vehicles – including the Dodge Viper and Chevrolet Corvette – are factory filled with synthetic oil. ref http://www.amsoil.com/frequent.aspx |

Don't you just love the marketing folks. If people believe in something why not sell something to cater to those beliefs too.
