I question the 4:1 balun being the correct nor best choice. Typical of that antenna the feed Z of the radiator is more likely 25 to 35 ohms. The 4:1 balun is presenting something like 10 ohms to the tuner. Worst case for high current and hi loss in the tuner causing heating. A 1:1 balun would seem more likely correct.
Many seem to "think" a 4:1 balun is correct when using open wire or a balanced line to "match the line".
