Which one is it then? If your going by this your contradicting your self. He was at 113 degrees and you say the telm is about 10 degrees higher... Unless your saying his engine was only running at 93 degrees. I highly doubt it. Plus, he was leaning it out.

Whatever though. Im done with this nonsense
