Default Running Cool In the Grass

Just got a Temp Gun and im running too high in the grass, i dont have any holes cut in the body yet so i know that that will help some. How can i get my temp to stop spiking when i go on a WOT run around the yard?

There is a protrusion from the engine that is called a carburetor. It has a fuel line going to it. Next to the fuel line entrance/barb on the carburetor, there is a high speed needle valve that is adjusted with a flat tip screwdriver.

To run cooler at wide open throttle, you will need to richen the high speed mixture. Richen by about 1/4 turn by turning the screw counter clockwise. After this adjustment, run your car and make smaller adjustments as necessary.
