Default Does anyone use a temp gun to tune?

I have a 107 that I don't think has run is years. I got it going, and it seems to run fine, but when I try to mow it bogs down and eventually dies. I went to reset the carb adjustments by the FSM but it didn't seem to help much. So, thinking back to my days with nitro powered RC cars, we used head temp to help set the carb. Does anyone else do that, and what should I consider to be an optimum temp range? Where do you check the temperature, since it seemed to vary depending on where I measured.

If I can get the carb set and I know it's not that, I'll have to look at the spindle bearings next. I'd hate to have to tear the engine down and rebuild, too many projects as it is.
