Run at 1,750RPM for four seconds while going rich/lean/rich as fast as you can, followed by another five seconds on the left magneto only at 900RPM. Sing the last two lines of “The Star-Spangled Banner” while slowly moving to cutoff, which completes the procedure. If in the Southern Hemisphere, it goes without saying that you should use the right magneto instead.
Wait just so I get this completely, should I replace star-stangled banner with Waltzing Matilda when operating in Australia?, also does anything to the procedure change when it is a leap year?
What a ripper of a comment this is! Jokes aside thanks all for clearing this up!
