Try .023-.025 on the plugs. You also need much larger jets than you would use with gasoline.

And 'J-gap' the spark plugs. The J-gap will provide a better initial burn to the meth, when ignited.

yes its a 4banger carb and he sent us carb with those jets built for the engine its on. and we dont use a oil cooler or temp gauge i know its hot engone cause to filter is to hot to hold ur hand on. not milky at all. yes 7 psi and clean the pump and filter every race. was thinking of going with eletric fan but it use to run warmer though

jared, the last time you ran at orland it sounded like pullover. mine was doing that until i switched back to the intake i ran last year.

well once we installed a thermostat and got the engine temp up to 180 we found that we where over jeted got some smaller 128-130 jets and now runs fine with just a light light darkish cream color thats almost white on the plugs guess the intake we changed too befor this started happening doesnt flow as much air.
