First summer with the midgit. It is 98+ today here in PA. i parked her in the
sun for a few hours and when i went to get in the temp gauge read 1950 ( i have
a new 1800 thermostat). i drove for about 5 minutes and stopped at a light
and while waiting the temp shot up to 212-2150. i pulled over opened the
heater valve and drove. when I was moving the temp went back down to 1950 but
everytime i stopped it went back up to 2120 territory. I have water, 34 year
old gunk, and remnants of a recent cooling flush in the cooling system.
Is this something to be concerned about or am I just being overly concerned.
My plan is to drain flush and refill the system with fresh water. any other
suggestions.
previously when i was concerned about the cooling system and it turned out to
be a blockage in the rear engine, but thanks to frank and the rest of the OSHIT
crowd that went away and now this? But this doesn't seem like a blockage issue
just poor heat dispersion.
