[QUOTE="Jimbeau, post: 491365, member: 31884"] Well, I took it to the lake to knock out two hours of the break in procedure. The motor worked well except for the top end. Sounds like it’s hitting the rev limiter at about the last 1/8” - 1/4 “ of throttle twist. Doesn’t seem to make any difference when the tilt angle is adjusted either way. Does anyone know why a new motor would do this? Seems like it might be a prop pitch issue allowing the motor to hit the limit. I figured the manufacturer would put a more conservative prop on so that this couldn’t happen? [/QUOTE]
