After installing a new plastic spur gear (I have a Robinsons 48/16 coming) the truck is running good and I have been doing some runs at mid throttle with a few short WOT blips.
Temps are ranging between 200-230F. Soon as I hit those temps I shut it down and turn engine to BDC and cool it off.
Now, everytime I go to check temps the truck doesn't want to stay put in idle; it wants to slowly creep forward so I have to hold the brake down.
I have checked/adjusted throttle trim and checked/adjusted carb gap.
I did try to adjust idle & LSN needles but put them back to factory settings since it didn't stop the wheels turning.
I'm thinking I should take apart the engine and inspect the clutch assembly?
I really don't want to be ripping this apart again so soon lol (ಥ﹏ಥ)
 
Mine also creeps forward just a bit at idle, my clutch is not grabbing much at that idle so I just let it creep a bit and deal with it....
I may have the idle a bit higher than normal but it runs so good I just don't mess with it....
 
I'll just monitor it for now I guess.

Went through another 2 tanks running around our back alley. Going to bring it somewhere I can start adjusting the HSN without pissing off all the retired folk in the neighborhood. 🙂
