In my view, the engine can run lean to the point of misfire and not experience any damage. I think the h20 temps will be okay. If EGT goes up an uncomfortable amount, add a tick of ignition advance. If it knocks any, back off throttle first, then retreat on the setting a bit.

Best advice is not to go TOO lean... Do you have an A/F gauge that will give you numeric readings, rather than the light display? The numeric reading is much safer if the intent is to lean out. _____ Get trade secrets for amazing burgers.
