Oil & Fuel 1529 first oops

[Woodsman7254]

Just had a stick get jammed into the right side by the engine frame. Broke the little plastic drain valve for the antifreeze. Into town tomorrow for a temp repair and then order a new one next week.

Sorry to hear you broke something.

Gotta be careful with those sticks.


Best of luck,

EDIT: You do know to fill it with antifreeze, then run the engine until the thermostat opens 'before' putting the radiator cap back on, right? (gotta 'burp') the system.

[Woodsman7254]

Good point. She is back up and running I will order new part tomorrow. So far it was a one dollar hardware store fix.

[Bob77064]

Glad to hear it was an easy fix.

Even though they have a line that by passes the thermostat? We left the cap off when we did the coolant change to burp, never really dropped much.
