Yes the "fuel" I'm referring to is the lever on the right or as I call it 1930 cruz control. And thanks the overheating is the part I was more interested in.


Thanks



Idid read the owners manual and start full retarded and some throttle but needed to know the loping is not the best way as well as get a better understanding of the retard/advance for the spark control. When I'm driving I do have hte spark advanced and going up hills it really seems to gives a booost.

Cruz control Yep, thats one way to look at it !

Where ever you have the spark lever set, if you start to hear the engine knock/ ping/ detonate, then quickly push the left lever up a few clicks to stop that knock. An engine can handle some detonation with no damage but it sure doesn't do it any good.
