Default a doubt while taking the temp of my engine...

Hello guys, OS 37....

My engine has 1.25turns out in the main needle. I measure the temperature in different points during flight, flying IDLE 1, it shows always about 190F on the head (next to the glow plug), no more, I have read in different posts that up to 210 is ok. However, I can't leave my fingers more than 2secs on the backplate and I remember there is a rule of 3 seconds at least. Should I rich it out? The engine has an amazing power, but I am afraid it might be running a bit lean

Do you think guys my infrared temp gauge does not work properly? I have the blue DURATRAX flash gun.....
