I already answered this. | ||

That's not possible without there being other issues present. You'd have serious running problems if you were melting the boot. It's probably not a stock boot. Replace it. | ||

Running lean makes it run hot. If you have a bad boot, then it's running lean. I wouldn't put too much stock in a temperature reading (you are talking about an area that is going to see a lot of heat). Too much information can be a bad thing!!. You should concern yourself with how it's running. Even a Blast that's suffering "knock and ping" isn't going to melt a boot. I've heard people melt pistons and not the boot. I've run a Blast in the harshest of heat conditions and not melted a boot. Chances are it wasn't a stock boot or suffered from age or being soaked in oil or some contamination or combination there of. |
