I have been through the same situation with FI and ended up with a "baked" piston and "fried" exhaust valves... and even if neither of those had happened, valve seals were almost disintegrated from heat and I would have had a "2-stroker" eventually... there are posts and threads covering fully suggestions on re-jetting and fine tuning the carbs if you look around into the forum...
Hi Nick,

what should i do to cooler my engine. Honestly I don't want to buy a jetkit cause expensive for me. Should I shimm needles or buy a bigger mainjet?
