RE: Another sad story

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have the heating problem solved. It runs nice and cool. Just right. 
The hood was off so my carbs and fuel were cool too and the evening was 
very humid but only about upper 70's. 

In retrospect this only seems to happen when I go to Iowa. Yes it 
doesn't like Iowa or perhaps it isn't used to a longer sustained trip at 
higher speeds. Everything is warmed up. Not hot, just completely warmed 
up. That doesn't usually happen. I need to do my testing during/after a 
good road trip.

I do suspect the valve adjustment.

We'll get it. After all Schyler just did an exorcism :-)
