I'm stumped a month ago I had it running just to stir the oil and warm it up, It died for no good reason and decided to never run again.....
Hmmmm This last summer I rebuilt the carb. put on new intake manafold and muffler, installed new brakes, and a host of other new parts. Including rebuilding starter, completely rewiring said machine, replaced complete ignition system. noticed that Distribitor was in backwards Ok some mush head before me didn't read the book. but it works fine. I,m making it ready for snow-plowing this winter. now said machine has decided to over heat. like 230+ within 15min. at a slight idle. Put in new radiator, Still over heats. lets see siphon feed means no pump & no thermo. still over heats. I removed the head and check water ports Notta.....put engine back together....new hoses lower tube...notta
the top of the radiator gets red hot, bottom stays cold.....using green antifreeze....so what the hells going on...perplexed tonight I ran it for 15 minutes and the same old crap 230 deg. after I shut it off I waited a couple minutes and noticed radiator was starting to warm up on the lower end. Seems like it forgot do that while I had it running HELP.....
