Hi,
My dad and I got to take our "new" carrier for a test spin. It was quite an interesting experience for a first timer in a tracked vehicle. The only problem she seems to lack guts, especially when turning to the point where it kept stalling. Plus she started to overheat. ![]() ![]() (Above is my dad giving her full throttle) On inspection of the engine we found a few things that need attention. (1) The twin fan belts have perished, is there an of the shelf replacement? If so what size/brand ? (2) A couple of the spark plugs could do with replacing. What brand/size do you guys use? (3) The radiator seems to be full of rust "mud" , after a good flush do you use standard car radiator fluid ? (4) We ran her on premium unleaded (96 octane) with a lead replacement additive. Could this be a problem? Thanks for your help, hopefully we can get her running well for the weekend ![]()
