What I did to my 100-6: Re-cored rad., rad shroud around fan (BCS), BCS
themostat, frontt rad shrouds to direct air, water wetter, riched mixture,
played with timing- all with little effect. I put on the Moss motors tropical
fan (recalled because one failed) and it made a HUGE difference. In traffic I
put on the biggest electric fan that I could fit on the X- brace and now in
traffic I also run cool. Now, at highway speeds the electric fan did restrict
the flow some when off and it gets a bit hotter, but if I turn it on
(installed by a switch) it drops down.
So what worked for me: Moss tropical fan (six blade)- if you can find one, and
the electric fan for traffic.
