Default Head Temperature

Hey,
Thanks for the feedback. This thing is running so good I'm afraid I'm gonna blow it up LOL. I ran it last night and opened the needle valve 1/2 turn and it was gargling a slight bit rich in the air. I'll crank it back in 1/4 at a time to find the sweet spot.
I reciently switched (due to my Hobby store, not by choice) to a "Wild-cat" fuel. I don't know the oil content offhand but I do know that after a while the exhaust appears a darker color that drips from the muffler. This is leading me to belive that it's too hot too.
The green "Cool Power" I prefer does not have this tendency with the exact same needle setting. I open it the 1/2 turn and it's too rich. If you have any more input I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Rick
