Today I had the Midget out for a run of around 50 miles ("Life is Good"!!). On the way home, I had to stop and pick up meds at the Walgreen's driveup window. While sitting there waiting with the eng

Cheez! Ya got me! The hotter it got, the rougher it ran. Finally, it gave a great shudder and quit. When I restarted it, I had to keep my foot in the accelorator to keep it running. You don't suppose

My little Hayden ten inch even as a pusher has been working fine for cooling the engine; however, with that said, I often have to hit the manual switch under the dash as opposed to waiting for the th

on one of my cars (not a Sprite, its Italian) I found that if I waited until the fan kicked in I would overheat unless I got moving soon. I put in a switch so I could turn on the fans before they kic

That is interesting. Last year I installed a 10" Hayden pusher fan as the only fan on my 1275. I bought the adjustable thermostat and set it so that the thermostat in the water system could cycle on

If it was 61F, there is no way this should have happened you know. Why did you not voluntarily shut down when you observed indicated temperature pass 190 or so?? OK.... At what indicated temperature

that's what usually happens when an idling motor overheats. Parts swell, friction goes up, temp goes up, induction air temp goes up, and the engine becomes a "heat sink".... hear a "marble-like" noi

Contact Dave Anton at APT (www.aptfast.com) for the heat shield. It is from a MGB and no longer available. They carry reconditioned one - about $25 last I checked. I have one with a HIF6 (HIF44) on
