Default RE: engine temps


ORIGINAL: rccheech

What temps does you engine run at??? Highest when hot out, and colder out??? Mine runs at @260-280 ish'. These temps are a little on the rich side too (without too much power loss) although they do seem on the high side, but any richer it runs like poo!!! I know temps are a refernce point but I am curious??? Has anyone seen the 300s without damage???? I'ts on the 60s and 70s here now and they may get up there when summer comes around.
Ya that temp is a sign of,
bad tune,
air leak
bearings
or a weak motor on its way out

But if its running good with no bogs let it rip
