Default Re: model A overheats

Make sure you're running the spark lever properly. Pull it down until you hear it ping when pulling hard, then up a click or so, just enough to stop the ping. Most model a radiators are crudded up, if you can't get it clean replace it. You dont want to ruin your new engine.
