on NGK plugs, the lower the number the hotter the plug,( I always thought the 9 was hotter as well till I found NGKs guide.) and if its 90 up there and if all yo have is airbox lid removed and it chopped good, then you are covering an air leak, perhaps when you changed reeds?
EDIT:
So I did some reading, and yes the lower the number the hotter the plug, but what it means is that it transfers more heat from the combustion chamber. So in actuality its colder, and the colder plug transfers less heat, keeping the heat in the combustion chamber, making it run hotter. We where both right begin with, and I should have read into it more before I changed what I knew, haha.
