Subject: Question about my scout overheating!

Ok about a month ago my scout started overheating all the time, so I got a new
stant thermostat and put it in.  After that is was fine for about 3 weeks. Now
that it has gotten cold it is doing it again, it gets hot really fast and
stays in the middle of the temp guage.  When it gets really hot like that it
looses all of its power.  Does anyone know what the problem could be?  Should
I replace the thermostat again? Is it something in the radiator?  What?
Thanks,
   Matt Cason

REPLY:
Matt is your radiator pluged with mud from wheelin or possibley pluged up
on the inside? It  sounds as if there might be something inside to break
loose and stop the thermostat from opening...Possibley some excess
alumiaseal radiator fix in a can stuff???


QUESTION:
Does anyone (Joel W)know of a Scout 80/800 CUSTOM? I found one and it has a
fold down rear seat as well as leather interior and some special chrome on
the outside???
