<span>So I was out driving a couple weeks ago and all of a sudden started overheating quickly. I pulled over, got out my fire extinguisher just in case since I was smoking badly, and popped the hood. In the end all was ok, but my issue is I threw the belt.
I am new to the Corvair world. Is it common to run into this issue? </span></div>

<span>I got towed home for free courtesy of Hagerty's insurance and was able to manipulate the belt back on easily enough. And all seems ok now. </span></div>
