The "How To" isn't a section for questions. We would like to keep that section specifically for walk-throughs, so I moved it here to the powertrain section.

First you'll want to start the engine up and let it warm up. While you wait for it to get to operating temperature you need to blip the throttle constantly, because while the engine idles the impeller is not moving fast enough to move water effeciently through the engine.

Once it is at operating temperature shut it off and let it cool back to where the head is at room temperature. Then you do it again.

You do it three times.

After that you can take it out and just ride easy for a full tank of gas. No full throttle.

On your second tank let her rip. For the duration of the second tank try not to give it prolonged full throttle.

After that second tank ride as usual.
