OVERHEATING TROUBLES. x76G

We suggest that if you have an opportunity when you are testing Mr. Gliksten's car, you make a comparative test over a certain piece of road running with the cutout open and the cutout closed. If the exhaust made any difference to the temperature, running with the cutout open should reduce the temperature considerably.
