120 to 140 degrees F. Use EGT to tune the engine. Take the plug out and look at the piston crown, s/b tan colored like cardbord. Look inside of the header, tan like cardboard. Black = too rich, white = too lean.

The 120 to 140 is H2o. You want to keep it under 140. Egt can be anything from 800 to 1300 depending on the location of the sensor with respect to the piston.

| It's also a good idea to have a thermostat or a heat exchanger www.wildkart.it |
