ok i just got a 3.3 engine to replace my 2.5 engine had the hobby shop put it in for me. anyways i am on the 3rd tank in break in and it seems like its sluggish and does'nt have any get up and go and also idles high sometimes and i tried making adjustments. Is that how break in is or should it have decent acceleration by the 3rd tank?
 
if you dont have good acceleration thn try to mess around with the lsn but only a little bit because its still break in but does it bog up and down or cut out with too much throttle??
 
then try to lean it out a little bit cuz it sounds like your gettin to much gas
 
ok i will try that its just i did that preety lean and i didnt want to mess anything up but ill try it again do you think it should have good acceleration if its on 3rd tank?
 
ya it def should by the third cuz your more than halfway done, but if it doesn't get any better are the rpms at least getting high but the accel is bad?
 
yes after a while it goes preety good and it would deff take off but it takes a good bit to get it rolling so the accel is real bad.
 
i told you the same thing happen to me i tried turning it by hand to much compression if you take one of those glow plug ignitors it will get the glow plug real hot and when u do that then hit the ez start and it will fire up i have to do it to mine everytime during break in because it had to much compression.

my bad wrong post.
