For air cooled engines this is far too low (and since the person who requested the info has an air-cooled engine and is a newbie; too low and misleading for his purposes). Air-cooled head temps run around 300-350 depending on the point of installation.> This range could easily be addressed by purchasing the appropriate parts from the dealer cited in the article.
