ing this period, aricher mixture is

needed (i.e. 40 parts of gas

Maximum

throt-

tie should

not

exceed

3/4,

however,

brief full acceleration and speed varia-

tions

contribute

to a

good

break-in.

Continued wide open throttle accelera-

tions, prolonged cruising speeds, and

lugging are detrimental during the

break-in period. '

it is easier

to remedy at this time than to allow the
