Default RE: Anyone own a Warhead

For what its worth! and or call it:
My experience today!

Breaking in:
Started on the 3nd pull
ran it 3/4 tank slowly watching the temp with a guage
2nd tank leaned 1/12 watching the temp shutting it down if above 270
3nd tank leaned 1/12 same thing running better
4th tank leaned 1/12 running better watching temp shutting it down for a few minutes
if temp above 270
5-th tank looking good temp staying 250-270 shifting 2nd gear several times
I am smiling!

when all of the sudden it dies,
I check the temp 270 but something is sizzling sounding like, off and on.

doesn't seem to be the engine,
I can't tell for sure, but the temp is ok.

from then on for about two hours i am having flodding trouble
I have two blisters, one on each hand from the pull start, (no breakage though)
also added new glow plug and am loosening it.

when it does start within a few minutes its running hot 280 290
as I shut it down and richen it, & try again, its still running hot
once it finally start, I cannot richen it enough to keep it cool.

could this be the head gasket leaking problem I read about in the forum earlier?
as I do have a lot of excess oil on the bottom!
I am not to happy with the Warhead at this time!
