Per spec, I've got it set at 10 degrees. Doesn't run hot at all, though as you say it's winter up here. The B18 behaved the same temperaturewise - always a little on the cool side. I guess I could try advancing it a bit and see what happens. When you say 20 degrees, that's dynamic, at the same 750 rpm?
Any other needle recommendations? Do KD needles pass an exceptionally large amount of fuel at mid-to-full throttle? Could this be a needle issue? Guess it makes sense to play with the timing first.
