What are the temp guidlines for this motor?
I would try different pipes, and restrictor with the engine. The small oval gives good mileage.
As far as temps go.. I would stay under 270F with the engine. The most important thing is to watch the combustion chamber. Take the plug out, and make sure it is not getting too dry. The glowplug should be shiny. Sometimes the engine can run 250, and be too lean, sometimes 300, and still be OK. There are lots of variables that make the engine run hot, or cool. The most certain way to make sure you are running in tune is to see some smoke, and check the glowplug.
