Yes, I get the same problem with my Midget. I was going to mount some insulative
material on the right hand side of the footbox. It can get real uncomfortable
on hot days. urely adding a 'stronger' coolant misture you will decrease
the heat dissapating capacity of the coolant, thus making it run hotter. I think
you mean you want to add more water and less antifreeze?
