RE: cold
i found this for you
The easiest way to increase your engine's horsepower is simply to tune it properly. If your engine's fuel/air mixture is too rich (too much fuel), it won't make full power and you will use up your fuel very quickly. An engine that is being run too lean won't have enough fuel to burn, and that will cause it to run erratically. Start the engine and run your vehicle around to get the engine up to running temperature. Adjust the high-speed needle first. You're aiming to tune the engine so that its operating temperature is somewhere around 230 degrees. When adjusting the high- and low-speed needles, alter them by only 1/16 turn at a time until you have the engine running properly.

RE: cold
I would say 230 is a little too hot...I usually run at around 200, maybe I'm just too cautious...over 230 is definitely too hot. I trust you know not to take the temp of the cooling head but the temp of the engine itself? Good luck.

RE: cold
It depends on your engine 230 is normal for most
I run Sirio & Nova Rossi with temps at 270 - at first my Sirio was running 300 which is to hot so i put a king head on it to bring it down to 270 now it runs great 2 gal fuel and still looks new when i take it apart to look at.
