I scavaged a coolant overflow unit off a Mazda in our local recycled car
lots (junk yard). I hooked this up to the overflow pipe on the radiator
neck hoping to avoid the constant loss of antifreeze I have been
experiencing from the moment I purchased the MGA last spring. The
radiator currently has a 7PSI cap. The coolant recovery system is
recovering fluid overflow but the system is not sucking the fluid back
into the radiator when the engine cools. I have to physically remove
the antifreeze from the overflow unit with a turkey baster (dedicated)
and add it back into the radiator. The overflow tube was flared and
soldered on the neck end and is air tight (vacuum check). What am I
doing wrong??
