Well, if it uses a hopper cooling system which relies on evaporation and boiling of the water, I suggest temperatures of around 190f to 195f can be expected just below the hopper and around the cylinder head.

Mike, you might want to read my thread. There's a video of mine running in the posts. Both sound about the same at 1800
Might want to take the pan off & have a look?

Mine is currently filled with green antifreeze.  What impact will this have on the evaporative cooling?  Is it worthwhile setting up a conventional radiator for cooling?
