Message: [QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 1188477, member: 16469"] It may not have been enough to cause it, but running hard and then coasting is bad for 2 strokes. You get the engine up to a significant RPM then shut off the fuel (and oil!) while the engine is still spinning fast. It's actually better to leave it pinned than to coast in gear. If you're really worried about him running it too hard for long periods of time, have him intermittently press the kill switch while still leaving the throttle open. That way you still get oil into the turning engine and the gas helps cool it, too. [/QUOTE]
