I bought new 10g rollers, 1500 main spring, clutch springs, and Cdi for my carbide 1500cc and I have no clue how to put them on. I has some knowledge of engines just not small ones. How long should I break in a brand new cart before adding mods? I waited 3hrs and changed the oil to mobil1 10w40 motorcycle oil. Was that right? What esle should I do to break it in?Thanks. _________________ 2008 Ams Carbide

Depending on your buggy's muffler setup, Nate, you may not have to remove it like it shows in step 1 of the guide.
Otherwise, a really great tutorial!
The CDI should simply replace the one that you have now, no?
In terms of breaking it in, the mods that you are performing are not really what the "break in" period is for. Breaking in the motor should be done by running your buggy at generally lower speeds for about the first 10-15 hours of its operation. This allows the engine's internals to become fully lubricated and "seasoned" without bring under undue strain.
Once this period is over, change your oil again - this will eliminate any small metal shavings that may have occurred during the breaking in process inside the motor.
It's gonna be hard keeping the accelerator from flat out with these mods, but ya gotta be disciplined at the start. It can increase the life of your buggy and possibly head off problems later on.
