31 rdster hot
hi guys, took the roadster out for a test spin yesterday, when I got back noticed water coming out the top of the radiator and running down the sides, I wonder if it was the weather it was around 88 when I did this. I also was working on a carb. fix for 6 weeks is it possible its the carb is not set correct?? oil was ok and I topped it off with water before the drive. could use some input before I start messing around. thanks THE HOOCH

Re: 31 rdster hot
Read the MANY posts on overheating. Make sure to just add enough water to cover the top of the tubes, NOT fill the top tank. Make sure you have the timing correct, via the timing lever AND the timing of the dist. etc etc. Radiator should be flushed / cleaned every so many years.

Dozens of posts on this subject. Not as many as Macs and whitewalls but dozens for sure. Do a search. Wayne
