Well, the 84 Aspy is still running hot. Will not redline, but stays 1 bar below. Never did that before. There are about 4 bars between normal and hot. If you are not familiar with the 84, it has the led dash instruments. The temp gage lights up another bar for each mark moving toward hot. The fan kicks in after 2 bars above normal. Not sure when it is supposed to kick in. Have thought to change the thermostat as the bike sat about 8 months when the stator went out before I fixed it.
I was thinking...Sometimes a car will overheat due to a bad or failing radiator cap. Wrong pressure... Could this also be the problem on the wing??? If so, where and how would you test it other than replacing it?? I would much rather change a cap than a thermostat.
I have the bike sold, but will not give someone else the problem, so I need to get it fixed before he picks up the bike. I just hate to tear it back apart after just putting in the poorboy alternator conversion. Still looking for something simple. It is running straight antifreeze in it, and is full. The fan is much larger since the conversion, as it has a 10inch auto fan on it externally now. Any ideas about the cap??
