QUOTE You won't get all the air out the first time. I assume you followed the procedure I spelled out. I suggest doing the whole bleeding procedure one more time before moving on to something else. I did do it several times. QUOTE Did you see the bubbles completely go away at your fill point while engine was warming up? If you lower the level at that point about 1" and increase idle to about 1200-1500 or so, you will be able to run engine while water is expanding. I didn't get any bubbles at the fill point for any of the times I bled the system. QUOTE How old was that used radiator you installed? It could have pluggage. I have a new radiator. Speeking of this, when i rebuilt the motor there was some build up of "stuff" inside the engine and i cleaned it as best i could. I did have problems even with the original settings on the carb. I'll go through your list John and report what I find. |
