No radiator or hoses on the Corvair. It was an air-cooled, flat six Boxer. Popular engine to convert for aircraft usage. Just a bigger V-Dub.

Another thing to look for, if you have done work on the bike and you develop a problem, go back and recheck your your work !!!!!!!!!!!

Not that I've had this happen to me !!! ::)

Thanks for sharing Tony.

We all too often forget to start with the basics when troubleshooting. Electrical issues are on top of that often very hard to pinpoint and we often suspect mechanical problems when we shouldn't.
