I actually have two issues I would appreciate some help with:
1- Overheating 5.9
Whenever I run my XL according to the onboard telemetry, I'm overheating. Today I was running and running rich I might add (nice blue smoke trail) it was only 37F out (just above freezing) and the radio is saying I got up to 285F! Even with the top off, it didn't help. Is there anything that could be causing this? It seems to be running fine. I'm almost getting suspicious that my telemetry is malfunctioning.
2- Engine cutting out (but only after 1/2 tank)
The engine runs just fine: starts, idles, accelerates, responsive, etc. but then after there's less than 1/2 a tank left it starts cutting off - usually after a high speed run and I let off the throttle. Is this normal? Do I just need to be better about filling the tank once it's 1/2 empty?
Oh yeah, what's this about storing your fuel OFF the floor?
This is where my fuel level was when it started cutting out.
