Default BREAK IN TEMP

So I got my new Tornado BB S30 today and started the break in ... The highest I could get the motor temp was 135?

I even put tinfoil around the head ... and it was like 85 outside today? I ran it on a block and even ran it around on the road ... kept it to less then 1/2 throttle ... What am I doing wrong ... I have a nice PE1 temp gun (new) ... odd

You can also cut the toe out of an old sock and cover the cooling head with it. That will help bring the temp up. You will get higher temps if you run with the body on. And if all else fails lean the HSN a couple of hours.

farenheit ... Maybe I am to rich? Should I get a lot of fuel spitting out my pipe also? (It is setup at 2 1/2 out from closed) ... When I was running on a block (1 tank) on a block over grass ... the grass had a big wet oily (exhaust) spot on it?
