STINKYDELUXE Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 just got a new temp gauge in my new 10mil super cub and just wondering before I start playing with my timing and jetting how hot is to hot? thanks I know EGT is a better way to go but I already spent to much :ermm: Quote
jbooker82 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 I start to worry about 210. Shut it down 220 When I am moving around mine doesnt get over 180. Quote

BigRed350x Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 What fuel you running? My coolant temps rarely got above 160 on methanol. Just scrape your frost off your carbs and put in your radiator. =) Quote
dajogejr Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 If you're talking EGTs...you're most likely running Methanol...160s is about right...or cooler. Plug color means nothing on Methanol...there's a good post on Planet Sand about how to read the burn marks on the spark plug for temp and fuel readings....check that out. Quote
STINKYDELUXE Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Posted September 4, 2007 right now im running 110 race gas someday ill switch to alcohol right now im running 170 when im just ripping around and it goes up to 200 after about 5 concecutive drags but im only at 5 degrees and running fat right now. I want to run 7 degrees and lean it up where it belongs. Quote
letsgetthisdone Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 210 is fine, 220 and up is when you wanna back off, and ride it around at a good pace (low throttle, low rpm's...in 6th gear) to get air flow over the rad and let it cool down... Quote
