    radiator repair

    Very good point Though I doubt the cooling tube would be able to transfer that much heat...however if the leak is a couple of inches from the bottom you could leave enough coolant in the lower tank to dissipate any excess heat so it doesn't melt the tank seams

    radiator repair

    As mentioned above the leadfree acid core solder and flux will do just fine. I think a propane torch will do a better job of pre heating the damaged area and burning off any residual water trapped/left in the bad rad tube

    Fuel leak as mentioned by VT and/or could be weak check valves in fuel pump causing fuel to drain back to tank, to check for this turn off the fuel valve at the pump when your done running it for the week or try using the primer on the fuel pump before starting it next time after sitting ( if...
