I've never heard of a Binks Carb, so I can't help there, but it sounds to me like it's overheating.
Maybe from being lean or not enough air getting out of the cowl. Make sure you have 3 times the air out as in.
Hey Thunderbolt47

The carb is BING's ... The problem is in the mix...and I think that I will solve it pretty soon by using a new Walbro. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for the tip.
