350c running warm
350c running warm
Ran the machine for 15 min full throttle in 90* weather and when shut down it hissed and steamed a bit- damn gauge said 100* so that isn’t working……
I will check coolant level next time but I don’t know status of fluid
Anything else to check?
Troubleshoot the gauge?

Re: 350c running warm
The radiator cap needs to hold the correct pressure.
Test or replace-this is more important than most people Realize.

If you have access to a non contact temp sensor use that to get actual engine temps.

thanks-
this sounds dumb to ask but ......
would you shoot the radiator itself?

Re: 350c running warm
Take a reading at the thermostat housing-where the coolant leaves the engine to go to the radiator.
That will be the engine temp. Clean the the dirt and oil off.
You can take a reading from the top and bottom tank on the radiator to get an idea how the radiator is working.

Re: 350c running warm
If the thermostat is still closed (engine not at operating temp) check the block where the thermostat housing bolts on.

Re: 350c running warm
Hi,
Better yet, if you have or can borrow, a thermal imaging camera. See if there are any hot spots which indicate a coolant passage blockage.

Re: 350c running warm
I typically shoot the head area found out my gauge was reading about 15/20 degrees warmer than actual. Started shooting all my equipment found out how lousy temp gauges actually are. Like was mentioned i did like to shoot the top/bottom radiator just for fun to see how well all that was working.

Re: 350c running warm
So I only had a min or 3 to look at machine so far but I did add a gallon and a half of fluid to the radiator-
machine has sat for a couple days and I checked it without starting and added-
will check gauge next but low on fluid doesn’t help
Will let it run next and check temps
