So finally I've started up my os cv-r in my drake. I'm breaking it in by heat cycling the first tank. When I start it and let it idle, the engine gets up to about 285 degrees in a minute. This is with the needle 3 1/2 turns out. It could possible get hotter but I shut it down. Do I need to make it richer????? Or is this about right. I heard people dont like it over 200 degrees for break in....
