I seem to recall we are talking about a newly rebuilt engine. If that's the case, I suggest Danny simply checks the fluids, fires it up and runs it per the run-in instructions. No newly rebuilt engine should need other than good clean new oil. In fact, additives may give the supplier good reason to renege on his warranty if there is a problem.

With the motor at fast idle or better, pour a small stream of automatic transmission fluid in the carb. It will clean the valves and topworks of the engine. Caution: do it when the marina is deserted or someone will think your boat is on fire and call the fire department. Makes a bit of smoke. Dennis C.
