Overheating

SwampFox · 05-25-2011, 09:42 AM

On long trips of 1/2 mile or more, even at moderate speeds I think the engine is overheating. It doesn't stall when running. But If I pull over a stop it is a bitch getting going again, like vapor lock and the engine smells hot. All the shrouds are in place, everything working. I want to get this solved before changing the governor.
I can add an inline fan but is there a batter way to prevent heat?

Make sure the engine is clean under the shrouds. Sometimes dirt, mud, grass will clog the fins on the engine and air can't pass through.

G16, clean engine, runs well, oil fine.

For some strange reason, mice just love to make their winter nests in shrouded air cooled engines. You might want to see if some "eviction"

is in order.
