I just ran the first tank, I did it in two 5 minute cycles. I ran it around at about 1/4 throttle and it was pretty fast already. I couldnt get the temps up to 200F though I leaned it out a considerable amount but the highest I could get it to was 182F, Do you guys think this is ok? I hope I didnt cause premature wear, I just dont think its gonna get any hotter running at the speeds Im running it at. Im pretty sure its running rich though because theres a light trail of smoke when Im running and there are droplets of oil on the pipe and oil bcking up into the pressure line.
