i have one too. any time i buy a motor that turns, its fun to run it and see what you bought. see if they leak, see if they smoke, and some times run it long enough to loosen up a sticky valve or dead cylinder brought back to life. i do respect the opinion of others like Ol ron that you can kill a new motor with too much fun, but i still enjoy seeing some life in it before its installed
