Default RE: O.S. .18 Tuning

Took her out tonight and ran through 3 more 125 cc tanks just on the pavement outside. It seemed to Finally start to smarten up. So I started leaning it out starting from2.5 turns out. I kept leaning it and it started getting quite a bit better. I kept going until it felt right, which ended up being 1 3/4 turns out... I ran it almot WOT a few times about a block's length and it had pretty decent power, not doing any wheelies or anything though. I checked temps and it never got above 240 with the body off. My HSN doesnt look bent or anything but maybe I'll have to take it out and compare it to my other OS HSN to see if it's shorter or something...
Tuned my LSN in and it needed about 1/2 turn in from flush.
It seems to be running ok now, guess it needed a bit more fuel through it. I don't know why it took about 15 tanks to break in but it seems to be ok now.

Dr. Honda has my front diff so I just have an empty case on the front now and man is this thing hard ton control with only 2 wheel braking. And when it goes sideways, the bowtie tires like to grab onto the pavement and flip it over [X(]

What kind of temps are you guys seeing with these engines. I think my other one runs about 250 - 260 at 2 turns out. Whereas this is running about 240 at 1 3/4 turns out.

Thanks all!!!
