He told me that you must run all air cooled engines at almost full throttle otherwise they can over heat. When they run at lower rpm the cooling system doesn't cool as well. He said not to run it flat out then just turn it off as the heat can warp the head. Run it hard, but throttle it back for a little bit at the end before shutting it down.As your machine runs an air cooled engine it should be run at a reasonable speed, not flat out, but i would say 3/4 or full if you are doing serious digging.I'm sure other people with have different views.</blockquote>
