What is the best way to break in the 350 Pipe Pro with the Mitsubishi engine?
Should I keep it on high idle?

I am assuming that you bought this machine brand new. You will find the recommended run-in procedure in your owners manual. It is typically done with a load bank or resistance grid. you can't just idle the motor, you have to put it under load between 2-4 hours, usually it is what the machine is rated at,(20V).

high idle will F--k it, best to get alota scrap and go at it with 1/4 " rod, or gouging.
Best bet would be to take it to a repair shop and have them step load it for 3 hrs or so

Why in the world isn't this done already? Looks like it would stop a lot of warranty problems.

Miller installs the engine into the case. Miller really doesn't care if the engine crashes as thats a Engine Warranty thing. Nothing to do with Miller
