Default RE: 300 temp

Is your fuel filter blocked because it could put an extra strain on the engine to suck the fuel...
When you start to run our of fuel it becomes harder to suck the fuel and causes the temps to go up.
You might have to adjust your low and high end needles.
You should try cleaning you air filter...
And run you engine easy and don't run full speed up a hill on grass , because it puts a lot of stress on you engine...

Besides that i dunno maybe someone else can help you if that didn't work...
Good luck though

Well if anything, I would first do what one of the others mentioned; and that is to check ur fuel filter(if u have one that is) to make sure its not clogged with dirt or anything that would impede the flow of fuel to the engine. Also, If u are at all in doubt of the needle settings, which from the sounds of things I probably would be a bit; re-set the needles to defaults and try re-tuning it from there and see if that does anything for ya.
