.072 are big for standard aren't they? .068 are standard for my engine but i think they are all different depending on your year of engine ?

Did you at any point 'read' the plugs prior to changing the jets?

What carbs are you running on this motor......got any pics.
What year is the motor?
Looks like a 200hp XR2 1992 onwards to me.
I thought 86" was standard and 90" was running in jets.
I am also aware of dirrent carbs for the XR2 tho.
But I thought the the other style of carbs used larger jets not smaller.

The engineers report initally thinks that it was an overheat problem due to a ingestation of material into the cooling system. Looks like it might be covered on my insurance!
