motor break-in

[tim bromley]

Hi all- I picked up my boat on Friday, I was looking over the manual and it mentions a motor break in process it states "Use a 50:1 (2%) gasoline/oil mixture in the first tank of fuel. Use of this fuel mixture combined with oil from the oil injection system will supply adequate lubrication during engine break in" What in the heck does that mean. Do they want me to add oil to the gas as well as the motor?? Thanks in advance for your help.

never mind guys...i read some more and that is exactly what they want me to do. But, don't you think they should have told me this at BPS when I picked it up? Good thing I am not one of those guys that never needs the manual. LOL

Jamoke - Check the Grab Bag section there is a detailed breaking procedure for regular carborated engines (NOT for EFI, DFI, Opti or the fancy ones) that BPS Atlanta gave me, it's great!!!
