Today was the day! Took her out to break her in. The anticipation and excitment was so high I almost didn't want to go in fear of trouble. It started out pretty flat then came the wind. <br /><br />This thing blows the oars out of the old set-up 115! The boat is launching out of the water and the motor is running quiet as ever. She seems to like to run at 4000. Super quiet and steady. I ran her up to 6000 for brief periods. She is still not broke in. I brought her in and checked plugs and compression. 150 #1, 152 #3, 150 #2, 152 #4. Idle quality is very quiet and smooth. Overall I am very happy so far with the results. I still have alot of fine tuning to do after break-in and the right mixture is present.<br /><br />I want to thank all of you who have helped in solving problems and giving advice.<br /><br />I do have one question.. I have the timing retarted at 22 deg. full advance. How many RPM can I run max at that full advance setting?
