I've had my MT2 for 2 years now and for some reason it runs at 420 degrees F and I richen it until it dies. Does this mean the motors on its way out and what should I do to fix it.
Bud,
It sounds like you have an air leak. Air leaking in around your carb or your back plate, running that hot for 2 yrs now is not a good thing. What I do to find an air leak, I take the motor off of the chassis and take some soapy water (Dawn works good) and put a little around the carb (With air filter off) then I blow in to the carb opening, and listen for bubbling, if you hear bubbling you have an air leak around the carb and that is why you can not get the temp to go down, do this to the back plate and the rest of the motor. I am sure some of the other guys on this sight may have more insight than I do, but this is one trick I use.
Good luck
Bryan
