How hot/cold should a 3cylinder two stroke be at idle? At idle, mine hardly gets any heat into it at all. is this normal? I checked the plugs and two(top and bottom cylinder) have a kind of creamy water/oil type residue on them. Not good. When I put it together I had the block and head refaced. How can water get into the combustion chamber? I'm thinking headgasket as the gasket on it got run for 20 mins on a hose before i got the head/block refaced but what else should I look at? I retorqued the head after the first time I ran it and checked it again now and didn't get anything out of the bolts. I will try and do a leakdown test tomorrow.<br />Thanks
