I'm still trying to figure out how to get the heat riser spring to work properly. If I try to turn it another 180, it holds the baffle plate open and the spring doesn't move when heated? For now I've installed it to hold the baffle plate closed, so there's less heat going to the carburetor. I'm thinking that should be good for summer.
