Check your cooling air intake bellows to make sure that it's not 
torn and that it's installed all around.

Check the thermostat linkage to make sure that the vanes are 
opening. You can check these thru the 1cm hole where there is a 
holder for the spark plugs behind the #2 cylinder.

Pull the plugs and check them to make sure that all they cylinders 
have been running the same.
