Default The Redhead Preview [Fantom .15]

The .12 is rated at 1.25 hp, the .15 is rated at 1.35 hp. I personally haven't found out just how good they are, though all the testimony I've read on has been good.

You keep talking the talk my man... But when are you going to walk the walk??

You read the break-in instructions yet? Dagass Gave me a good idea of heating the head up with a blow dryer before I start it, to help get it up to it's "230 degrees" 130 - 140 shouldn't be a problem and it'll take a few precious second off of the trip to 230... Whadda ya say?

I hav tried heating them up and strting them in the cold. If you leave the engine a idle for two long in the cold it will die. These engine just arent made to be broken in in the cold.

The instructions warn against this... 230 degrees minimun for the engine for break-in...

Normal operating temps... 250 - 270...
