Arrow Power Loss When Heats up

hi

when the temp gauge is anywhere within the 1/4 she goes like the clappers. as soon a it passes the blue (1/4) starts to loose power and once the temp gets to normal (1/2) cant even get the wheels spinning and you can really notice the power loss.

ive asked around a couple of people have told me my injectors may be rooted.

im planning on getting an xh snorkel and twin thermo's

will this help?

can anyone tell me whats going on :

thanks heaps

It sounds like it needs some decent cooling. Either some cowling and/or thermos should fix that. Make the thermos kick in early to keep her nice n cool ;)
