A rich condition will not make your motor-any part of it hot. if anything at all it will run cooler from the unburned fuel cooling your piston and cylinder. this is non as cylinder wash. also retarding your timing will not create more heat in any situation. as far as your A/F meter is concerned, 14.7 is what is called lamda or known as '1" the middle point between good MPG and ok power. if your metter is swinging all the way to 18 that is way to lean and makes heat VERY fast. 8 or 9 is the lowest with gasoline you could drive around on and around 12-13 is going to make the best power.
i would set your timing to what the manual calls for and then rejet and tune you're carbs. and see where the temp lands then. |
