The reasoning as to not running a 2 stroke full throttle from new is to seat the rings in the chamber otherwise 2 strokes like to run hot (but not too hot) and wide open . Gas/oil mix is important and fresh gas without ethanol is best needless to say. The quality of your 2 stroke oil should be considered and don't use outboard motor oil !
