Satsuma catching on fire
So my Satsuma is catching on fire and I don't know why, when the temperature is half way to the highest temperature it catches on fire, I replaced the head gasket first and it was still catching on fire. Then I order the repair of broken parts at Fleetari's workshop and it still was catching on fire, and when I replaced the waterpump it was still catching on fire for some reason.
And when it catches on fire there's a sound of a part coming off.

I did and there were no leaks and I even removed the radiator and put it back (and yes I did fill the radiator up). When I went for a test drive only coolant leaked (I guess?) on the windshield and when I went back it caught on fire.
Tho for some reason the radiator fan isn't spinning.

It's almost full and I can fill it up anytime and I don't know how to check the condition, do I need MSC editor?
(Also another thing I forgot to add is that the temperature rises very fast half way to the highest temperature)

Have you make sure the coolant hoses are tight and that you have wired the radiator fan?

you check the condition by looking at its colour and seeing if its bright orange(good) or dark black(bad) [in some cases even dark blue]

What is your AF ratio? Also is the carburetor screwed up since you said you heard a breaking part noise?
