cooling system

[30 A Ripper]

seller assured me radiator was rodded. I now doubt it was a good job from the hand placement check for heat. Ie bottom center not warm/hot.

would like to get running better before getting into the rad.

#1 plug was sooty indicating rich mixture so I'll try Gav adjustment. somewhere I have a step by step procedure.

Thanks for info and motivation, Dick Lakeland Florida
