Coolant sprays out of the radiator

[Wambo333]

My car was running fine the last days but today I encountered a problem.

My fuel mixture is 14.1 at standard tempature, as soon as I hit the gas for a longer time and the mixture reaches about 15.9 colant starts to spray straight up from the radiator.

There are no loose bolts, enough coolant in the radiator and its cap is closed.

Do you have any idea what's wrong?

Your fan belt might be too tight.

I just checked the fan belt but couldn't get rid of the problem by adjusting it.

Do you remember to turn the choke off?

Racing Radiator or Standard?

Also, could be overheating

I just did and the problem seems to be gone. So it's normal for the standard radiator to overheat?

[KATSUO]

Yes, when above whatever high RPM number it starts overheating.

Got it. Thanks for the help, everything works now.

its caused by overheating of the cooling fluid the water pressure is too high its the safety valve thet lets off excess pressure not so good cause you loose cooland but you can refill so no engines are harmed
