After changing a one of the front cooling hoses on my Fuego and filling up with coolant, i tried to bleed all the air out of the system by releasing the bleed valve on thermostat housing, carburettor and heater. Problem is, a while agoafter slightly opening it a while ago, the thermostat valve jammed and i could not open or close it anymore.
This made me have to brutally hammer a screw into it as a quick-fix. As well as buying the hose, i bought a spare valve to replace the jammed one. I ended chiseling all the head of the valve off, and the thing would still not budge and to make things worse, the carburettor valve has also jammed shut and wont budge. I sprayed 3 in 1 on it with no results.
To remove the thread left in the thermostat housing may be to hard to remove now but would anyone have any ideas on how to removethe carbie valve w/o having to replace carburettor automatic choke housings?
Valves i think are made of brass (more like plasticine...)and are rounded easily. Its annoying not being able to bleed the system as cooling fans refuse to work and engine overheats quickly when the air is not removed, returning to normal a few hours later
