Fan Clutch

[David Brown <davebrown1@earthlink.net>]

Dear Friends,

I recently replaced the water pump on my '78 Midget 1500
with a stock unit from a donor vehicle. Now there is a
really loud whirring from the engine compartment  all the
time which increases with RPM.  I suspect that my stock fan
clutch is not releasing properly.


Is this assumption likely to be correct?

Is there a simple way to correct this problem?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.
