I second Steve's comment about timing.
I run mine with 20° initial advance and they do great. Need about 60° dwell.
Retarded ignition (or insufficiently advanced) causes reduced power and overheating,
especially in the exhaust system but also in the engine. You gotta start the fire
early enough that you can get the power out of it before the exhaust valve is wide open.
