3 further tanks - rich, running a circuit with full gas

Q. I've gone through quarter of a gallon, at idle slightly high tickover which slightly drops, after 10 seconds punches of the line clean plenty of smoke, maybe a slight hesitation/bog... Flat out sounds good, reving high slight trail of smoke - all seems good but the engine temps are way down 65c/165f which leads me to believe something's way out with the tuning?
Give ya a tip , dont break your engine in with small restrictors

lean lsn and hsn
