Although the motor runs pretty smoothly. I running with a 130 degree
thermostat. What should I look at adjusting?

Before I got crazy and tried to "fix" a motor that was running well I
would ask, how far did you have to idle back to the ramp before you
pulled these plugs?
If this is running well other the entire range I might try a little
hotter plug, if it is loading up when you idle you could play with the
idle screws a little but be careful you don't break it.
I see your point about the idling...... it took me at least 10 minutes
running at idle rpm. I never thought of that. BTW, this is an automatic
oil injection system and so I cant adjust the fuel/oil mixture ratio.
