Ouch ! Next time if it over heats leave the engine running and squirt some water into the radiator . Just mist it . My Echarm the fan is loud and I did this a few times in the peak of summer . Use Engine Ice instead of automotive antifreeze since small engines run hotter than car engines do . You may need to burp it .

did the same thing three times!! NOW I wonder if I will be the first but has anyone added a larger radiator, coolant container, or external water pump? I already wired a switch to the coolant fan, and added another temp gauge. still, drive it hard (65mph) and POOF. water ice is a great add-on jopo1668, skuttadawgI have found a few 12v external water pumps, now onto a better radiator! I will be riding in the heat of Summer! |

I guess you needed that guy from the Viagra commercial to help. He is at the age of knowing how to handle an overheated big block chevy.  |
