Are you running a 912UL or 9112ULS? 80 hp 912 requires very little cooling. I used to bypass my engine oil cooler completely in the winter in Alabama, summer in Northern Canada and Alaska. 912ULS was just the opposite. Took a lot of cooling to keep it happy. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of 13brv3 Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2019 9:51 AM Subject: Kolb-List: Re: 912 radiator?

Check out the radiator from the Honda 1100 Magna. I used it with my 582 and put it on another. Both worked perfectly. If you're putting the 912 on a Mk 3 or a Kolbra it's one to look at. Rick.
