Should you use a certain plug for break in and a different one after? or just use the one recommended?

thanks
 
If your engine doesn't come with a plug, try to go for McCoy or OS plugs, unless one is recommended. (I say this because my Picco didn't come with a plug, just throwing it out there)
 
i think you can, my engine is an o.s. and they say it can be done but its the maximum % you can use for break-in...maybe you could go with 20-25% for break-in then use your 30% after, as long as you stay with the same fuel brand i.e. blue thunder,morgan fuel etc. in my opinon it would be better for your engine because the lubricating properties of a lower % of nitro are a bit better i think. you really dont want your engine to lack lubrication while breaking-in, with 30% i would run it just a little richer than what i would normally do
