just checking

:nice: no there not C there F. just got the motor running and I have a broke wire that I am trying to trace down under the engine...did not know if it was a o2 sensor
and wanted to make sure she was not running lean (hotter than normal).
have not drove care yet just ran it a few time for about 5mins.
 
It sounds fine to me. A fresh mill will probably run a little hot for a bit anyhow. Once you get the timing dialed in and such, it should be easier to gauge what's going on.

Was it just idling? I'd assume there was no load since you dont have timing dialed in yet.

As long as it stays under about 190*F, I'd be happy myself.

Have fun!
