Re: Starting my engine build

Ok, fixed two plug wires that were melted through, dented the headers with a hammer and replaced boot. Started up great, no red headers and at 3k rpm I set to 34 degrees. Brought back down to idle and let it run but it's still getting hotter than it usually does. Enough to be concerned although I know J didn't ruin anything.

I haven't dumped the break in oil and put in regular 10w30 yet. Could this be a factor? And how do I get the mixture more rich. Both screws are 2 1/2 turns OUT from bottomed out in carb
