i have been doing heat cycles for the past couple days now and today i finally did the full throttle runs and it cuts out alittle bit on the top end. it will still rev out tho. it runs awesome untill i nail it. i blew the crank up and it ran perfect before that happened and i just got it back from the shop. he put a new piston and rings and everything which is why im doing the heat cycles. i think it is because when it was running good i was running a 44 to 1 or 50 to 1 mixture on c12 octane and right now for break in im running 32 to 1. would that make it run funny on top end? i checked the plug too and it looks like its running rich and the plug was wet alittle. i put a new plug in and it does the same.

Did you do a leak test after you reassembled it?

no do you think i should? the guy said he would do it for me so i guess i will have him do that. i have one more heat cycle then i think im gonna throw some gas in there with less oil in it to see if it runs any better

Close the gap on the plug to around .018/.020 and test it.
