duty cycle drift

I looked at the Bentley, go to p. 25.28. The spec is 80% w/ a temp sensor 
below 68 degF, meaning in open-loop mode. I'm not sure if cold-running duty 
cycle is s'posed to be the same as WOT DC, but I would assume they'd be 
similar. In any case, it's strange more than one of you is getting only 
65%. Any ideas anyone, Phil?
