Perhaps by running without a top on the box you are getting turbulent airflow and pressure differentials in the engine box causing your mixture to change and run rich sometimes and lean sometimes with the lean causing heating problems. JMO

Jim,

Thats what I was thinking. I am very new to gas but it sort of made sense to me that I might be creating a vacumm in the engine box or turbulent air that was causing the rich symptoms. I am going to try adding a few holes in the bottom and see if that helps. It also seems much worse when its very hot out. Not sure what that has to do with it?

Thanks
