Am I missing something? Unless those temps are Centigrade I don't see an issue.

Good luck.

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!
