Check for debris between radiators

When I was changing the plugs the other day I happen to look down between the first radiator (by the engine) and the the next thinner radiator sandwiched in there. It was 3/4 blocked with bugs and leaf material, using a yard stick I was able to clean the debris out then used air to blow any remaining debris out.

Just a heads up and maybe a quick check.

Did the same thing a couple of months ago, mine was all bugs. I used water and the end of a big tie wrap. I'm going to check it often from now on.

I used water hose with weed eater cutting line. Run line top to bottom then move horizontally back and forth
