European and Other Bikes / Re: 1974 MZ TS 150 456 original miles seized engine rebuild

Hello everyone.  Its too cold now to ride but been doing a bit of work on the old gal.  Sorry guys but I did the hard run in and......in 4th after a couple times of going through the drills she went about 45 tops for about 10 seconds let out a back fire and took off on me hitting 65 almost 70.  I stopped the bike made sure it hadn't overheated and proceeded to cool down and the started her back up and WOW! Sounded great.  Ran great

Bought this beauty for $400 original everything even the tires!!! With a bill of sale and a seized engine and 456 miles on the bike, we dropped a new piston in her, now i want to break it in right and I cant get an idea of how to cause the manual i have for it says "follow usual break'in methods"  Common sense tells me that the pistons need to be set quickly and evenly to stop blow back and build up on piston as well as the walls.  The MZ 150 uses mixed gas to lubricate the engine.  The crank and clutch have a oil reservoir all to its own.  So should i mix the gas slightly light to allow less burn buildup or should i run it regular or run her hard i have pictures!
