    It is time to get the new auger fired up for the first time. What do you guys do for break in with small 2 stroke engines?

    When installed in mobile machines a guy can take it easy during break in but with an auger its all in right from the beginning. Personally I would mix the oil a little stronger than called for the first tank. I dont know what else you can do different?

    Nothing special required for a 2 stroke engine

    Only thing is do not run a synthetic oil for the first few tanks. The Synthetic is so slippery it will not let the rings set.
