Does your car have the bottom and center baffles installed ahead of the
radiator. I have found that they make a huge difference particularly in
traffic.
I would also recommend dribbling a little cold water over the carb float
cambers when the problem occurs to see if it is being caused by fuel boiling
in the carbs.

Subject: [Healeys] healey running hot
My 1954 BN1 is running hot.Placed new thermostat,flushed the
radiator with Xerex,adjusted the timing(not overretarded).I did not
replace the water pump but it is not leaking.The fan belt is not too
loose.Anyone have any comments?It runs well at first but once it heats
up it threatens to kill when one accelerates,backfires after reving it
up.
