You don't car but.....

That's weird cause i run my engine at 190-210 and she is perfect maybe you need to learn how to tune instead of leaning the piss out of your engine. 300 deg is crazy.

I bought it last july. 3 gallons on it.

I make good power at 190-210. Sounds like you cooked it cause you wanted more mojo.


will i buy this engine again.... Prolly not.
