Did a bunch of reading & came up with this plan. On next trip to airport am going to try the following in stages; - check coolant mix - drop rad 1" to get into more airflow, & fill 1" space with foam to seal gap ( have standard ( I think ) 4"ish high rad under cabin ) - check for a thermostat & check its temp setting - pull rad & check for scale buildup May try a laser thermometer on head to check the temp gauge also. Anyone been through this & want to add anything. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:36:29 PM PST US Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: overheating From: Guy Buchanan That's what I did and it worked for everything but the hottest (110F) days.
