Go 3 full turns out on the HSN, and what temp is the head getting to while breaking it in ?

I am way past break in.. temp is kinda hot my bro has our temp gun when i put a drop of water on the head it takes a few sec. to dissapear. so i will go with under 230or so.. if you run to rich can you hurt anything other than just flooding?

um I have mine at about 3 full turns out if not more, and are you leaving your glow starter in it while you run it ?

You have to turn your low speed after you get your high speed, it all can be different to the temp out side, but I think mine is set around 3 full turns to, I think.
