Cool The Carb?
I haven't quite gotten my Honda GXH50 on the road and am not sure I will be on the road when it hits 115, BUT
I would think of cooling the gas , gas line and carb.
First seems like a good idea to paint my black gas tank white?
Place asbestos or current Green substitute tubing on the gas line.
Then consider putting a cloth wrap on the carb, Add a small container of water above it and a valve to open and drip water on the cloth. Personal swamp box for the bike?
The Honda does have an insulating plate between the block and the carb. so that part is done.
I don't promise this will work if i hits 122 again like it did in 89, but any or all might solve the problem at 115?
Grew up in the AC business and always looking to make the summer liveable outside. Have a 24" fan on the carport with 7 mister nozzles around it to allow me to work on the bike at 110 plus.
Good luck!
