Here are the videos of the first startup. I have a bad throttle body gasket leak so i'm working on fixing that.

Save the 30 weight for the tractor. I only changed my oil once at 500 miles. You change your oil to many times during break in and all your doing is introducing more detergents and adatives which prevent break in. There's also no reason to use a 10W . 0 or 5W-30 is what your looking for.

Alright I just used it for the startup. I will move to 10w for the next heat cycle and first 50 miles or so. After 50 I am going to change it again and then re-torque the headbolts

I will put some videos up of full throttle pulls once it's fully broken in.

Here is a little half throttle pull:

THanks man! I had to get a new clutch for it. The old clutch is starting to slip. The one I got is rated to hold 360 ft/lbs so that should hold me for a little while
