Do a couple of heat cycles for 20-30 minutes. Let it cool down after each cycle. Then keep the tach below 3k for 500 miles. Change oil after 500 miles. With the flooding issues you should probably change it now. If the OMP is working, add a little 2-cycle oil to the gas. .25-.5oz per gallon. If not running an OMP, I'd go 1oz per gallon.
