I bought an Oliver Hart Parr 70 a couple of weeks ago from a friend. It had been in his family for several years and he and his brother had pulled it in antique pulls for several years. They both had lost interest in pulling so I bought it. Got it started fairly easy , cleaned fuel tank and carb and it started right up but right out of the box it had a heating problem. It runs good, no oil in water or water in the oil but, if runs 10 minutes it will start blowing the water out of the overflow on the radiator. I have drained the radiator and block, flushed them out, installed a new water pump and an electric fan, nothing has helped .Original owner said it would get pretty warm but, nothing like I am experiencing. It seems to be circulating Ok but it gets red hot in one pull. I'm stumped. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
