<div dir="auto"><div dir="auto">Hi once again! I've been lurking for probably 15 years, but haven't posted for several. We have been traveling for many years, especially in the summers. Therefore our 79B has been dormant; not driven at all for two years. It ran fine, with a very intermittent miss every once in a while, when last driven. We will be home for the summer in a few weeks and I'm going to start driving it again. What should I do BEFORE I attempt to start it? BTW, the gas tank is full of 2 year old fuel. </div><div dir="auto">Thanks,</div><div dir="auto">Monte 79B with HIF's and detoxed</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mar 15, 2018 1:50 PM, <<a href="mailto:mgs-request@autox.team.net">mgs-request@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Send Mgs mailing list submissions to<br>

Most likely lack of air flow. This is common wiht a re-cored<br>
radiator where they used a core with too many fins too close<br>
together, so it restricts air flow at road speed. For that you need<br>
a really large fan, or an electric fan to assist the air<br>
push. Better to get back to an original type radiator with more air<br>
flow capacity.<br>
<br>
Other possible causes may be a loose fan belt (slippage reducing fan<br>
speed), or a loose or missing impellor on the weter pump, or a<br>
clogged radiator core restricting water flow. Possibly a faulty<br>
thermostat that does not open all the way.<br>

Runs hot at low speed = water flow.<br>
Runs hot at high speed = air flow.<br>
<br>
That?s the general rule I?ve heard.<br>
