I gutted it and it's ran perfect since.
****, I knew I was forgetting something! My g/f is a chef and has an infrared thermometer. I need to pick up a 9V battery and test that out. Did you let it fully warm up? I have a 160* t-stat so the motor doesn't get "too hot"..., but I'm sure the exhaust is still quite hot.
