just lean it out dood...i had the same thing happen yesterday..i done a couple of hi speed runs then i got a huge drop in performance and steam or smoke was rising from the engine head...i thought i cooked it for sure..i left it for 5 mins to cool as it was sooooo hot, then leaned it out a little and started it back up...then BAM, it took off like a rocket :)

i love my jato :)

anyone know where i can get a Blue jato shell in the U.K, and how much? also what tuned pipe should i get? lol

Hot running engine is usually due to a lean condition.

yeah i think nitroeddie is right...my jato ran rly hot and i just richened the HSN a little and it was fine...when u run rich it gives the engine a little more lubrication wich will in turn shed some heat...
