Hi Just thought you might like to know what where im at with my overheating problem i posted just after XMas. Well I have cleaned the cooling system out with white vinegar and it came out pretty black so it must have done something. Also checked my spark plugs and found that they wernt the recommended type so replaced. Found the old plugs had only half the thread length and half the ceramic top length as well.May have been running hot ??? have adjusted the timing reset the carb. It now runs fine (touch wood) oil pressure comes up to 60 psi at start and as it gets warm drops to just abve the 20. Spent 1 hr mowing the paddock on Saturday and then 1/2 hr harrowing yesterday.No overheating (yeah) so hopefully all is well. Thanks for all your help. The next thing I want to do is change the oil and filter and was thinking of running an engine flush through the system. I notice another question about this has been posted. It hasnt had a good oil change for some time according to previous owner. Has anyone tried the engine flush additive ??? Appreciate any comments Thanks again for your help Regards Thomo.
