Put a sock or aluminum foil on the head to keep temps up and to be able to tune it without running it lean. Get it inside asap when its not running so it doesn't cool down too fast. Also put the piston at bdc.
 
A baby sock works well, it fits nice and tight.
 
Watch your temps with the tinfoil. I found both my savage and tmax were overheating with a good tinfoil wrap
 
With foil one should only partially wrap the head,rag pieces and socks allow for better cooling

You can poke holes in the foil if your engine needs more cooling.
 
My favorite is a piece of an old wool sock that I've absolutely refused to throw away,"I'm a repurposer" and I really loved those socks man,kept me warm time and time again out on the frozen water,and I just couldn't bring myself to toss a few good pieces of good wool in the trash,lol,.......I'm serious!
