Well unless i drill the stock jet or i should say ream the stock jet there is no more to go as the mail screw is backed out all the way . And i can also see that you have never worked and old tractor even when they were new . let lone when we had the gas back then. A gas engine does run hotter then a diesel unless the fuel is turned up. You have never plowed at night with a gasser to see the glow of the manifold and muffler or had a gasser choppen and the manifold glowing or working a gasser under a mounted picker that is why many of then caught fire from fodder getting on the manifold . a working engine gets HOT don't care if it is a gas or diesel . And today with this fuel that they call gas they run way hotter. Years back they ran 160-180 degree thermostats now today they run things hotter and thermostats are 190 and up to get them to meet emissions and also the gas is made to burn hotter . You guys just don't get it on this gas deal or even the diesel . Even the amount of fuel that they burn . I was 9 years old when i sat my donkey on a brand new S/MTA as it was really one of the first wheel tractors that i drove spent many hours on a brand new 560 D and a 460 D two brand new 806's and one 706 went from a two bottom drag plow to 7 bottom onlands from driving a gas powered semi to a hopped up Cat with over 750 Hp. i have seen a lot of changes in my short time on this planet from doing a 16 second quarter mile to the fastest of 8.34 that i have been down the strip and now they are down in the 4's , From going to the gas station and gettig Sunoco 260 or one click above for the weekend of racing to now ya have to by Vp in a drum . From getting good pistons to getting what they sell ya. Am i worried about my S/MTA running like this , nope not at all as it has forged pistons and can take the heat am i worried about the valves nope is it over heating , nope not at all it is just getting up into the run zone . Can i get MORE out of it , yep i can , but why if i need more then i will put the 806 on if more power is needed or even the 706 . As long as we have the wright fuel it will do what it was made to do . How many injection pumps have had to be rebuild because of the new diesel ?? lots just ask any pump man. Like the guy that does the pumps for me he told me long ago the fuel change was the best thing to happen to him as business is booming .
