Problem is that with the higher temps the carb is starting to perk and floods when shut down, hard to start black smoke.
Coolant level is the same, fan running ok, no noise from the Wpump, no overflow from the Ptank, nothing from the pipes.
Has anyone bumped into this?
Thanks

Not to worry. As much as I have had some issues with my B/D, the BMW rad and fan set up seems to work fine. I have an alledged 385 HP and in 95+ deg my temps run at 100c, which is an acceptable temp. Don't worry about changing much. The fan may run all of the time as it would in a regular car, but on these things, the yellow light can maybe be un-nerving at times.
If you start running 230f, then you may have an issue.
