========================================
That is exactly how my temp. gauge ran. I installed a K+N filter two days
ago and now it overheats.
It overheats just a little, but enough to disturb me. God knows I am
disturbed enough as it is.
Any advice out there? I am assuming that the fuel needs to run a little
richer now that it sucks in more
air.
