    Michael and bill, thank for your adverstiming, but I very confused, when i test the engine the lasta time, the engine dont trow the water out, but it goes to 90 degrees, butn when I shut down the engine I can touch the engine very well, and the radiadotor, so I think If I have the wate rin 90 degrees the engine must be 100 or higher and I cant touch this.
    so Know I m thinking if I have a Instrument Problem, now.
    What do you think.
    tahnks

    Agustin,

    Could be the instrument or the sender. One way is to remove the sender from the cylinder head. Leave the sender wire hooked up and attach a temporary ground wire to the threaded part of the sender. Dip the probe end in a container of hot water. Also put a thermometer in the container. The thermometer and the gauge should agree. If they don't, it is either the sender or the gauge that are wrong.

    Bill.

    Agustin,

    You can check the thermostat the same way as the temp.probe. Just drop in a pot of cold water with a thermometer and heat it up. As the water warms up, check the thermometer when the thermostat just begins to open and again when it is fully open.

    Today I check with a termometer, external, the sensor works well, the temp indicator show 10° c more than the real temp, and the termostate, is full open on 80°, and it close in 50°.
    But when I realized the test, all the temp indicator with 10 °c of error, the engine was always working with 85 and 90 degree.
    so Now Im considerated, if I have some carburator regulation it that posible.
    thank
