 How Do You Run Your Motor?
To/from the camp. To the the blind. While your scouting. Just riding around. Do u keep it wide open all the time, 3/4 throttle, just barely on plane?
My motor will turn up to 4300(CDI) with just about any load, but I find myself running about 4000-4100 most times. I keep it around 3700 when I'm just cruising around. About 80% of the time it's at 4000 r better.
A friend of mine keeps his Mudbuddy WFO wherever he goes for however long it takes.

 Re: How Do You Run Your Motor?
Run mime WFO except when I get to the camp and just cruisin around the bayous. Its about a 30 minute run to the camp and its wide open the whole time. Its a lawnmower motor, thats how they cut grass.

 Re: How Do You Run Your Motor?
I normally run my mower a little below WOT
I run my mudmotor right around about WTFO all the time, but it rarely spins above 3900 with my loads. If I am crusing and just enjoying the ride I will let off to where it will barely stay on step.

 Re: How Do You Run Your Motor?
I'm glad someone else was wondering this. I have never had a mud motor before and I have been wondering the same thing. I was told to drive it like I stole it, so when I first took it out for a ride I had a 4 or 5 mile run where i ran it pretty hard. Then i was told I had a breakin period where I didn't need to run it that hard till I got some more hours on it. So now I have just under 10 hrs on it and I'm running it at wot a little but mainly staying between 3400 and 3800 hoping that those first few miles at wot didn't hurt anything. How many hours do I need to have on it to run the hell out of it with out doing damage?

 Re: How Do You Run Your Motor?
its not that you cant run slow or low rpms with these motors. you can, but they were designed to run more efficient and better cooling at wot.
