check out what lance said as he knows that rail far better than i but yes lol i do know the build. honestly i cannot say which rack he used on the rail as i never paid attention. i use the heavy duty endload racks on my front end kits. i was thinking lance and doug used a mod'd version of something else but sounds like lance might have used something diff. you may still need a higher cfm fan but you won't know till you get it all back together. yes he did run it in the desert in 100* temps but no humidity there. well i assume, never been down there but it's plenty humid here and i have never been able to run the smaller radiators like others do or i run way to hot in a couple miles on dirt even. that's the only reason i suggested a larger radiator. it did work for lance and i assume the previous owner too but who knows if he left it outside and neglected it?
Unless the radiator has been replaced since lance built it ,it should be capable of cooling the engine. I would see what fan is on it and verify the cfm if you can. If it was replaced for some reason,it may have been replaced with a cheap copy of a good fan. The cfm difference between 2 apparently the same types can be huge. I'm betting it is still airlocked or the fan is at fault or undersized now.
this would make the most sense. infact i could see the Po swapping the fans out. sometimes they just die or sometimes blades just fly off several times rofl
of course and this is just a thought....if you drive faster it will get more air might have to change the posted speed limit signs after dark but it can be done lol
Ya,I think I went thru 10 before the problem was found to be a POS mount for the fan motors. A bit of epoxy and no more issues.Never broke another since.
Is the water pump working? You could test it when it's cold by filling it all the way up and watching the filler port to see the water circulate. Just be very careful and DON'T do it when it's warm. Radiator water is 200 degrees and will burn you.It's a Honda accord radiator. I'm pretty sure it was a 2 core when it left here. They make a 3 core but they're bigger/thicker. Spal fans are the best but they're very expensive. I replaced a two core in the two seater with a 3 core and a Spal fan I can't make it overheat. If I pushed it hard with the two core and the china fan it would get too warm. The only down side is the 3 core is thicker and the Spal fan is bigger. I don't know if it will fit in the single seater.I don't think there's any significance to the first list vs. the second list from Speedway. Just measure the ones you need.
Yea I will put it on the to do list for sure. Tell me what is POS. Hope its not a stupid question lol.
Lol speed limit? whats that lol? Yea we have speed limits but naa not really lol its the wild west out here bro lol. That's why I love my lill island so much, the freedom. The first thing is, we drive/ride anything on the street. Anything can be street legal. You can ride any trail, forest, beach no permit needed. Drive out your gate, down the street, and hit the trails. For boating there is no trailering laws of permits needed. you know the simple stuff like that.
