Once I got my car started, I noticed that the engine was faster than breaking in the engine. I thought the engine needed break-in, I'm not sure. I'll take a video so you guys can see if the engine is broken in or not.
 
After you break in the engine it'll idle faster cuz there is less fiction between the sleeve and piston. Just lower the idle with the third screw on the carb.
 
Alright, I guess my engine still needs to be broken in, I thought it went faster. Lol. What sucks is I can't break it in right now because my starter box BROKE.
 
No, mine needs a starter box. So I freaking need a new starter box unless the LHS gives me a refund.
 
If they don't, I'll try asking Dynamite, and if they can't help, I need to buy a new one. I found one at a decent price just in case.
 
Will do. I think a mod could lock or delete this thread since I've already found an answer and we're off topic.
