Default Re: Radiator Baffle

The over heating could be as simple as learning how to adjust the spark and GVA if you are not experienced using them. The other thing I noticed in the first photo, you have over filled the radiator. It only needs be be about an 1" over the top of the core, maybe a little more, not all the way up to the bottom of the neck. Check the over flow tube and make sure it is clear. Water expands as it gets hot and needs to go someplace, ether thru the overflow or out the cap and will do so till it finds its own level. Once it finds that level, that is where it needs to be filled to. Other wise it will just puke out.
