That is what keeps you cool. Drink lots of water.
From living in MI your body knows it must dump lots of water to combat that high humidity.
If you stay in the dessert a year or two, it will; quit doing that and just put out what you need.
In fact,one of the problems here is they don't know they are losing water and wind up with heat exhaustion.

My NGH is side mounted and that works. It might be awhile before I get to the other engines.I just overhauled the carb on the 30 so I will get it running on spark first then switch to the GGlow.
This year is different. Every day last week we set a new high temperature record.

I finally got the engine adjusted to my liking and took off. The engine promptly quit. The clunk in the tank fell off and when I went into a bank it starved the engine for fuel. Curses!

I fixed the A/C and tried again, It took off and the engine promptly quit again. I have to wonder it the air moving over the engine caused it to cool down and the plug went out. There is a possibility I still had a tank problem. Unfortunately this time I lost the aircraft.
I intend to try it on a DLE30 now. I have switched the engine to side mount.

Well that sucks.Sounds more like a fuel problem,not Ign.Next time hold the plane and really get the engine warmed up and tune a little fat.Went out to fly but the wind came up.Might be OK tomorrow.Have a new VV 20 to fly.Going to run it on spark for a few flights. Then may try the GG.

My DLE 30 starts and runs nicely on GG but I can't get it to idle less than 3000 RPM. I had it down to 2500 with the battery connected but it quit when I disconnected the battery.
How is your idle? Would leaning the low end help?
