Edit - I totally missed your posting asking me if I have one! Doh!

So, yes I have one - what's next ;-)

Check the manifold temp (right under the carb) and the carb float bowl. You can do this at 5-20 minutes after shutting down the hot engine. I've also used mine to find a stuck exhaust manifold heat riser which was putting too much heat into the manifold.

Note: reg gas (in the USA) will start to boil at just a bit over 120 degrees. You can actually hear a percolating sound when it starts boiling.
