Default RE: engine overheating

Thanks for your imput
It your getting a little smoke from the pipe you should be fine but you might richen a little if it slows down on top end then put it back where you had it. If you can find someone with a temp gauge you can borrow check to see if its hitting up around 300 degrees thats to hot.
