HI everyone, I've read and read forums trying to find a definite answer to my problem but haven't found a solution to my exact issue. My atc250r engine is in a grass kart. Plug chops suggest it's running rich as porcelain is black and there is slight moist look around ring of plug. I've left it this way because I'm having trouble with the engine building heat then starts to detonate (from what I can tell i get loud knock from head area) if I back off throttle the knock gets worse and if I give it more gas it lessons but of course eventually I have to back off and it seizes. It's seizing on each side of Gudgeon pin. I can get 3 800m laps out of it before I get any of these issues what else can I do to run it colder? It measured .006" clearance on piston, standard timing, slightly higher compression, running av gas (100+octane) 24:1 oil mix. I was short shifting a bit causing a bit of load on engine as it was muddy if this could have caused it? Engine is out to side and has good air flow. Hopefully I've put enough info in here cheers.
