i have checked my clutch and it seems fine. and i know everything on my car is fine cause my toro runs great in my car.

any one have any ideas.
then just run it at 280!! Mine runs 280-290 all the time, period. Rick Howhart has posted here before that 280 isn't a big deal for these engines. My engine has 5 gallons on it, runs great, still has good compression and has never seen under 260, not even during break in. If you run in a more hot/humid area, you won't get temps of people running in the desert, don't worry about what other peoples temps are.
