Hi All
I did the mods I said I was going to do, the smaller prop and the air dam on the bottom of the cowl lip plus reset the carb and had plans to fly it today, but the good old Idaho wind changed my mind.
I did however run the engine for around 15 mins varying the throttle through out the full range and I could not make it get hotter than normal.
I know static running is not the same as flying, but it should give some sort of an idea of what's going to happen.
Anyway until I can stick it back up I won't know if what I did helped or not.
