Default Re: Maiden Voyage= Failure

The spark lever was a little over half the way pulled down and no, we didn't check the timing and that has been added to our list of what to do.

We will check the timing and address the vacuum leak when we feel ambitious again (next weekend). With these improvements, we'll take it out for another drive. If we over heat again, we'll pull the radiator and have it sent to a reputable radiator shop where it will be cleaned out. While the radiator gets cleaned, we'll clean the block using a vinegar solution or just push all games aside and pull the head so we can scrape all the junk out of the water jackets in the head and block.
