What would the max operating temp at wot for my Polini Contessa? What should it be normal 1/2 throttle riding be?
I'm trying to figure out what my mj sizing should be in the end based on max temp and best throttle response.
Thanks in advance.

Cast iron is tough. Aluminum piston maybe not so much. 400 is the safety ceiling.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

Ok great! Thanks!
I've only gotten to 355f, so I'm good so far.

Re: Operating temps
Taller does not equal cooler, you're way off. Taller= more stress on the engine= more heat.maddog wrote:Depends on your gear ratio, taller = cooler
