All,
I know this is a chainsaw forum but I figure the engines must be similar and im looking for advice on engine break-in for the new weedeater we purchased. Every chainsaw I have ever purchased has been used or slightly used so I have never had to brake one in. We just purchased a Stihl 131r Kombi system weedeater. The manual recommends to NOT go to full power until after 3 tank fills. 3 Tank fills may be the like half of the entire season of weed wacking at my property haha. What do you do to maybe speed this process up? I have seen some people comment that they will let it run idling while doing other yard work and from time to time go over and hit the gas to half throttle to help prevent build up from occurring on the spark plug etc. Is this ok to do? I mean, if we have to...we will simply use it running half power while weed wacking but like I said this will take a good portion of the summer. Anything else we should consider? Thanks!
