make sure when u shut the engine off u leave the piston at BDC or bottom dead center, meaning the bottomof it's stroke, it preseves the pinch of the engine and in turn prolongs engine life. Do it after every run break in and even when u run it normally.
Also purchase a temp gun. You only need to wrap the head if you can't get the engine temps upto 220-250 degrees. The further from those temps the more fins you should cover on the head. Don't touch the needles on the carb until you've gone through a good 8 tanks, then start leaning the needles out for performance.
