one of my old racin' buddies reminded me racing outboard motors are run
wide open throttle when they are fired up rebuilt or out of the
box........same with dragsters although they are rarely expected to run
more than a few minutes between rebuilds......outboards considerably
longer.................FYI......................................YMMV,
