Re: Feeling Crabby …
check the plug gap. too much gap will help cause tracking in the cap. Ben there done that. I have a Mallory. Lots of spark. ouch.

Re: Flathead oil tempeture
HMMMMMMMM I thought it should get up over 200 give or take a few deg. some time . guess not. Look at a tractor or truck oil temp sometime when it's working. It may be 240 or so.

Re: Flathead oil tempeture
It all depends on how hard the engine is working. The oil need to get past 212 some time to burn out the water and gas. It can idle for a week and never get the oil hot .220 or so.
