Hi Guys
Just wondering how many of us preheat the engine before firing it up?
I myself do this every time, no matter if the engine has just been broken in or not.
Something that just stuck with me since my first nitro, and I do believe engine life does get extended by quite a bit.
We all know that engine small or big, wears the most until it warms up.
So, when running at home, I preheat it with a hair dryer to around 80C, it starts right up, never had a problem.
In fact, I am just about to buy a Makita (they recently released it) battery powered heat gun, for when I am outside, to do the same.
Please comment?
Thanks
