Form the observatory I knew that Madrid is about -2C~13C tomorrow.If air temp. under 10C and the engine running temp. is around 100C. Under the same engine needle setting with air temp. around 30C, what will be the engine running temp?
There is a good tip that Corse-R gave us;

With temps between 5 and 15C I'll struggle to not going over 75-85C, the cold air cools too much the engine and gives you false readings. And people starts to lean it
Between 15 & 25C I'm pretty confortable between 95 & 105, 110C as maximum.
Over 25C is happy hour time, but I tune mine engines by ear and check the temperature only to assure myself that nothing is wrong there, doesn't matter if to go happy needs to go at 115 or 140C, each engine is a world apart and each one needs a different temperature. I have one engine that 'awakens' when temp reach 130C, under this temperature is a lemon.
Have seen one engine running happily at 150C.... each one is different. And the fuel you use makes a difference too.
