Satsuma always overheating? SOLVED

[Cootuh]

So, my Sastuma is always overheating!
I already installed the racing cooler and I checked if every fluids are in my car!
Everything was ok!
But if I drive like 5 mins, my engine overheats and the coolant is leaking!
Anybody got any suggestions?
I also checked with MSCeditor if every part was installed correctly...

don't use MSCeditor for engine diagnosis because it's outdated.

your fuel/air mix on your carburetor is probably too high, or your head gasket is dying, or your fan belt is missing.

[Cootuh]

aaaaand, what do i do against that fuel/air thingy?

[Cootuh]

and fleetari doesn't have any more headgasket's...

[Cootuh]

so, I told fleetari to repair EVERYTHING that is related to my engine, and the problem still keeps occuring...

[Cootuh]

and btw. the coolant starts leaking when the fuel/air ratio is at 15.5

1. you need to remove the part from the car for fleetari to sell it to you.
2. look up a guide for the air fuel ratio
3. make sure your water pump is not broken

That's too lean. 14.7 is optimal at normal operating temperature but when racing hard engine temp keeps rising and leaning mixture. I usually adjust mixture to 14.2 or lower so engine doesn't overheat so easily.

Ok, so i tuned the carburators to a lower value and I still got the same problem.
I'll check for the waterpump

[Cootuh]

Uhhh, after switching the waterpump, black smoke is coming out of my engine...
Is this normal?

Your headgasket is ruined. Replace that along with the coolant in the radiator.

As a rule of thumb, always replace coolant & oil when tearing the engine apart.

[Cootuh]

alright

Fleetari's engine repair option doesn't work like you would expect it to. You have to take off the parts you want him to fix and put them in his office, then select the option. He'll call you when they're fixed, if he doesn't call just wait about 3 in game days. Sleeping doesn't speed up the progress though.

So, I replaced the Waterpump and also replaced the headgasket.
And my engine STILL overheats!

Adjust the valves and then the carburetor.

[nikos]

try taking off the water hoses and re attaching them.
then fill the radiator and see if it has stopped leaking
