I measured the head temperature & it was less than 100 deg C. On top of that, I am getting 'sticky throttle' in that the engine is slow to rev down. I know that without further details, it's not easy to figure out what is (are) the problem(s) based on this simple description. Some educated guess would be appreciated. I have just changed a new fuel tank & new tubing because I was getting the 'sticky throttle' earlier so I hope that potential area of concern is eliminated.
