Yes, adjust to a pitch setting that will give you 3500 to 3800 maximum RPM on the ground. More than 3800 RPM on the ground will result in the engine exceeding

Mike,
Based on the RPMs you are registering with those propellers, it appears that all of the cylinders are making full power. I have never used a turbulator in my Moki and my two friends with high...

Tom,
Your overrev theory is sound. Using the same prop setup, 3200 RPM to 3500 RPM is what I use. I feel 3800 RPM is the absolute highest you should use and I recommend against it.

5000 RPM maximum, and you want to avoid that as much as possible. Most of us have thrown pushrods during the Moki learning process and it is not fun. If the engine sounds like a F1 engine, the RPM is...

Follow what Maxam said and also increase your pitch to bring maximum ground RPM down to 3300-3500. 3800 is too high. I know from telemetry, 3800 on the ground will allow the engine to hit 5000 RPM...

Uhmm...they do it over time? In my little group of Moki operators we have one engine with well over 200 flights on it and no such issues. Maybe just lucky. One more thing to watch out for.

I agree completely, if you must ground run it for whatever reason limit the run to no more than a couple of minutes. It's best not to like Greg said.
