Ok, so what am i suposed to do to drop the temps? Yeah I've heard that they run cooler but, they didn't want to for me. Any richer on the low end and they would load up at idle and through the infeild. Any richer on the top and they were gutless. I tried keeping them at 200 degrees and neither engine liked it. I'm open to sugjestions.

Ambient temp was about 62 degrees. Humidity was 25%-30%. I had a temp sensor mounted between the lowest fins on the head and cross checked the accuracy with a Exergen temp gun.
