should I brek the engine in accordingly to RB or heat cycle?
dent in pipe!! - rocco79 - 10-02-2006
heat cycle.... IMO

What's RB say to do?

rb basically says to do heat cycle only idle for one tank.......but I allready did idle it at noe tank so now im gonig to do basically the heat cycle

Sounds good.

well......got one tank of idling in, then 2 tanks of figure 8's with temps of 205-225..........hoghest temp was 270, but onyl for a few seconds, but shut it off right away, only reached that once, still got like 5 more tanks of break in to go untill I can start leaning her out.
only problem is i go to start in and it wont start, the glow plugs finee, the glow ignitors fine, so it still wont start, so i change plug just incase, still wont start, so i change glow ignitors, still wont start.......so im guessing the starter box isnt charged enough?? but it was turning it over pretty fast....so....
whgat else could it be?

Too rich???? Possibly extra fuel is wetting the plug???? Maybe plug "Looks" ok but may not be able to effectively do it job... Change it but keep the old plug. If it still wont start i would say its rich on the low... But please lets see if a better tuner agrees with me. I dont want you to burn yo chit up cuz of me...
When i heat cylce an engine i lean it an hour or two every couple heat cycles that way the engine builds temp and rpm while it breaks in graduly ... That way when your done your close to a power tune... Thats just how i like too do it...

ok, well i actually richend both high and low....so then I tried, wouldnt start so i leaned the top....still didnt start, so ill try the low end.

That was the problem for me. Too rich on the low end. If you do lean it out, don't lean it out too much. Go maybe an 1/8 of a turn and you can already tell if it helps. I wouldn't go more than a quarter just testing if that is the problem though. That's just me.

ok thanks

its rich, when ur trying to start it and u can hear it start to load up pinch the fuel line until it starts then just let all the fuel blow out
