Good afternoon all,
Today I decided to reattach my SBP pipe to my fairly new motor (roughly 200 miles). Once I got the pipe back on, I took it out for a quick test drive. She ran very well and the pipe added the expected perfomance, but WOW was she hot! I've already done heat damage to one good engine and don't want to do it again.
I have lowered adjusted the needle to be richer (yes I know that it doesn't affect WOT) I put in a NKG B8HS for a little cooler spark to see if that would help, but no. I am running about 32:1 Homelite mix which worked well with the stock pipe.
Now I don't have anyway of measuring temps but I do know that when the intake is hot to the touch and the bowl is getting warm enough to make the fuel bubble up the fuel line, then the engine is getting too hot!
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to keep the engine cool? I would really like to be able to use the pipe but I don't want to fry the engine.
