" I think that I have read that these engines should be operated on the lean side to enable them to run at the correct clearences due to their construction materials. Can these engines be damaged by running too lean "
Hi Frank
Yes they can be damaged by a too lean setting, as can any engine. So be careful with a too lean setting.
Try to run a wet, or rich 2 cycle with the Brodak 25, or they will do a 4/2 break, you are going to use between 4 and 6 inches of pitch, depending on how you run the engine
