if its running good and powerful dont worry about it, if its 190F.

In other threads some people explain to me that the best temperature are from 200 to 250 but mine never reach the 200

If you lean it just a tad to get temps up about 225 it will be fine. Just turn in teh high speed needle about 1/16 turn at a time. What is your outside temps.

RE: Engine Temperature
 

In Puerto Rico is about 80-98F all year

honestly, if its running good then dont worry, 190 is close enough to 200. you usually want 200 and over to break the engine in but if you broke it in already just run it.

See if you can lean it out just a tad on the high end needle. If not then dont worry about it.
