So I just finished rebuilding my 2056 and while I'm not done setting everything (carbs), it was idling pretty smooth around 1100 RPM. The temp on the CHT gauge raised to 300 after about 20 mins. Just checking if this is normal idle behavior. The stock temp gauge didn't go up much. Running 10/40 Brad Penn. 84 degrees and humid outside (car was in the garage)

That seems about right for mine too.
You will see temp changes WAY faster with the spark plug meter then the oil temp meter. They are measuring different things. Oil responds much faster then the spark plugs, and #3 is the hottest plug. Zach |

He knows what he's talking about, but just to clarify in case someone took this wrong. Oil responds slower. Head temps are the quickest tell. |
