[QUOTE="96redtoy, post: 284176, member: 8931"] It might not have been a cooling problem, but a leaning out problem. I say the chances of this are slim but might want to look into it a little. Make sure that the engine isn't getting air from anywhere but the intake on the carb. (ie cracked gasket between carb and manifold, cracked fuel lines, ext) Also someone could have messed with the high end adjustment :shock: and you wouldn't have been the wiser. Just something to think about, but my money would be on the cooling. I would also pull the thermostat and make sure its opening fully. Heat up a bowl of hot water in the microwave and drop the thermostat in it. Watch for it to open then close as the water cools. Do this a few times to make sure it doesn't get hung up. :wink: [/QUOTE]
