You have dual cooling? Hotter plugs shouldn't increase engine temps that much though...

yup I'm running the true dual cooling setup
edit: I live in Aruba so its always in the 90's so that might have to do with why it affected it so much?

Drill out your brass fittings and pissers to flow as much water as you can if you're running 3/8" cooling lines. You can gain a lot of extra cooling capacity with that...

Me and a buddy swapped to Amsoil back around 2002-2003. We both went through a period where we were having more seizures and such. We swapped to Klotz Benol in 2004 or so and stopped having same issues.

On of the Amsoil's products is formulated for that ratio. I know of a few racers who ran that ration and still do......
They must have alot of $ to replace parts, not one person i ride with runs any where near that ratio, all their hi-HP DASA/yamaha built machines from 701cc to 1200cc run a ratio between 40:1-50:1 and they are hi rev'ing surf/moto surf monsters that would lean/seize in a sec if they ran 100:1. I guess Amsoil must make a really good product to run 100:1

they advertise that it can be mixed up to 100:1, obviously this has a lot of variations.

I talked to Amzoil on ratios for my old 781 120 psi TL bla bla and he recommended no less than 50:1
My neighbor's kid races a few different classes of on road bikes and he told me the same, as he's cooked some stuff over the years. They're sponsored by Amzoil.
Ran a TPE 964 this season on 91 pump gas. Philip told me to run Klotz R50 at 40:1 for a few reasons. I inspected it a month back and it's all tidy. Much cleaner than when I was running quicksilver tcw3 in my old 781. Totally different motors yes, but so much cleaner on the Klotz R50.

Any earl will technically work to a certain extinct .Benol in k50 especially at lower ratios than 50/1 is very tough to burn efficiently in a freeride or rec boat. Most all other applications for pv motors using it are sustaining over 8000k rpms or using crazy comp and oxy fuel. Klotz ski tech is a much newer tech oil for modern pv motors,uses much less benol and burns more efficiently in our motors running in the 7s. Theres something to be said for a oil type that has the ability to stick to parts well in the presence of salt water,Any other 2 stroke motor sports out there that regularly have to ingest a gulp of water and not shear off ? happens all the time in a standup ski especially ridden in the ocean....)
Another thing to consider..A oil with alot more detergent may keep your pv a little cleaner,but good luck getting that motor started again once you have sunk it and drug up on the beach,without a set of 7 plugs with the ends cliped half way,your going to be playing with a frothy mess for 3x longer before the brap comes back......

I never met an Earl before. I'll have to try to find one to technically work on my ski. Maybe he can tune it better...?

I've been running Amsoil Dominator at 50:1 for many years now... I've run it in the following motors without issue:
701 with mild mods
modified 720 195 psi
Totally modded Dasa 850 pv 190 psi
Totally modded Dasa 971 pv with static timing advance etc 195+ psi
all of my motors have been clean when pulled apart for inspection

dominator is great for salt water use. Doesnt seem to gum up powervalves much either
