Thermostat not opening proparly or a radiator full of crap?

At least be carefull now because rotaries really hate overheating and this can damage your motor!

thanx alot! yeah i bought a new thermostat today and now im going to clean the radiator tomorow!
also if yu can answer this question that would save me alot of time too: my car wont stay in idle for very long, their is a buzzing sound down in left side of the carb and it looks like a little pin is loose would i need to replace the whole carb or just that little pin?
