I finally got the 40 started today after a 4 year hiatus due to school. 400SBC, Performer intake and 600cfm carb.
All it took was a new carb, fuel lines, fuel filters and clean fuel.
The only issue I have now is that the top of the radiator seems to get ridiculously hot after only running for about 4 minutes. I checked the level, and ended up adding about a half gallon of 50/50. What spilled out sizzled away on the top of the rad.
What should I be looking out for after this long of a hibernation? Stuck thermostat? Plugged water jacket? Anything else?
I dont want to blow her up after just getting her running again.
Thanks, Hodag
