The first failure was #4 between #3 and #4,  and the second was both #3 
and #4 .. between #3 and #4.
I forgot to mention that because of my overheating, I did fabricate a 
"Geo Hahn Air Dam" out of aluminum.  It didn't help much, so I think my 
problems are deeper than a little air.  I am going to take off the 
nose-piece and remove the rad and get it taken apart and cleaned (or 
rebuilt).
