I agree with Fred's statement about relatively constant temperatures, but my
Morgan still has other ideas. On a hot day, the coolant temperature will
climb, particularly in stop and go traffic. It is a Plus 8, 3.9 liter fuel
injection. I installed an aluminum radiator, which helped, but hasn't solved
the problem.
The manual lists ignition timing as 4 degrees +/- 1 degree BTDC. I checked
the timing, it looks like 5 degrees BTDC.
The last smog test results: Idle HC 34ppm, CO 0%, CO2 14.9%, O2 0%. At 2600
rpm, HC 15ppm, CO 0%, CO2 15.1%, O2 0%.
Are these results too lean? Any other suggestions for things to look at to
make it run cooler?
Thanks in advance,
Brad
