Hi Top Gun 777,

Now that's interesting.

I removed one shim (now have two on the button)

I'm running a No.5 plug (This is a hot plug, I think!)

I could not get the temp above 160 on a nice warm sunny day.

And I'm being told my piston looks like I'm still running rich.

If I go back to a 6, 7 or 8 will the temp not drop?


Many Thanks

Kevin
Hi Kevin.
It is strange that you can't get temperature going up. Take one more shim and lean top further. What is atmospheric pressure there? 760 mm mercury column?
Temp shouldn't drop if you use #7 or 8, but idle can be more difficult.
Paul, I might be at Nats in last 2 days, I am not sure if I will get vacation. I realy want to go and watch, but we have 3 events comming in our area and my son wants to participiet all of them, on top of it so many projects are rolling up, so I am not sure if I can go in Ohio.
Best regards
Edward
