Radiator

Postby Dirty Mike » Tue Jul 28, 2015 8:12 am

I have a 1951 cub. My question is, does the cooling system us a pressurized radiator cap or none pressurized. Trying to find out if my cub will run before I get to deep into it. Thanks

The system is NOT pressurized ,it is a thermal siphon system that does not use a water pump but flows as the coolant heats up . When doing a drain and fill it is advised to use a 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water and to mix this solution before filling the radiator.

I knew it didn't have a water pump but didn't really know how the system worked. Thanks for the help

If the Cub hasn't run in a while, you may want to prime the oil pump before cranking it much. Manuals in the tool bar above, and lots of info in the "how to" forum.
