How long has it sat? If it has sat for a while the gas left in the float bowls during storage changes to varnish (gel like substance) and obstructs jets and air/fuel conduits. Requires removal of carbs and thorough cleaning.
The elements of internal combustion engines are: correct fuel/air ratio, spark at right time, adequate cylinder compression.
There are many passageways and openings to check and clean. All are important in function and when obstructed or not working properly, have subtle to radical effects on engine performance. Vacuum leaks and carburetor synchronization also have effects on performance and should be inspected and adjusted.
Also to get it to run at a lower temp. Have you tried Water Wetter? I have some if you want to try it. It will bring down the normal temp your running. It has for my about 10-14 degrees.
About the air filter, well, I'm still looking for that to as where it is. But I'm thinking its in the front. LOL Hope some of this helps and someone else can give more insight to Matt. :thumbs:
