Late in on this one, but I HAVE noticed that the first few runs on LA, FP or FX OS Engines are VERY fuel-thirsty, and perhaps a bit fussy to set.
After 4-6 heat-cycling runs (just up to full temperature, cut off, cool to air temp), they start getting nicer and more economical on fuel... Over the next 15-30 runs, they reach a plateau, where they will stay for quite a while, dependably, no fuss, no muss, no greasy wax build-up. (I do the initial runs on a bench, in case something starts to go wrong - if it does, I can yank the fuel line off for a quick stop.)
