Sounds like you are on the right track! Judging from your profile , you know how long those Fl. traffic lights are. I always hated liquid cooled engines but they are starting to make sense. When I'm sitting at a Traffic Light I always think-"I have an air-cooled engine & I'm sitting still in this heat!" Irish
