RE: I'm Skerd To Say This!!

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I guarantee mine was getting blazing hot. I was gonna set it on fire to 
cool it down :-) It would start sputting and galloping and then just 
plain die. No doubt about it. It's not all just the cooling system 
either. A big part of the issue is the tune. If it's a tad too lean it 
really hates it! Mine has not been running good in this heat still so 
today I set it back to what I had last summer just for the heck of it. 
It's several stages leaner. I also balanced the carbs and thought it 
would be fine. Then I got about 30 feet down the street and it was 
spitting and complaining. Not overheating though. So I'll make some more 
changes and see how that goes. Trial and error with an emphasis on the 
error.
