Happy to report that I've solved the overheating issue. Although I burped the cruiser after replacing all the new cooling parts I did not run the front and rear heaters while doing so. I did that this afternoon and now it's running normal temp even in 95+ degree weather (180% humidity) here in...
So I got the idle solenoid from cool cruisers today and got it installed and WOW what a difference! Now I’m down to figuring out this overheating issue. I stood by the driver fender and could feel the fan blowing hot air and then it does change a little and blow warm air. Upper radiator hose...
I actually tried that and it still didn’t work. I guess it went bad? Seems like a simple mechanism, not sure how it just goes bad. Have one that’s supposed to be here tomorrow from Cool Cruisers. Just have to splice the old connecter on the new solenoid. Hopefully this helps with the idle so I...
Didn't hear clicking when key turned forward so I checked for 12V going to it and it had it so I removed the solenoid and put 12V directly to it and nothing. Inspected and found the wire frayed close to the solenoid as pictured. Will order a new one and go from there. Thanks for the insight
I agree, I don't think it has anything to do with any of the issues. I think it was caused by me tapping the gas on initial cold startup, which I probably shouldn't have done anyway. I did however check the Idle solenoid. It gets 12V but I do not hear any clicking when I turn the key to on or...
Went to start the rig over the weekend and noticed fuel dripping out of this valve on the carb. This could be part of the problem why it’s not running/idling properly
Head gasket is new OEM. Was having a similar overheating issue before doing the HG but before it would only overheat at highway speeds and not at idle. Right now its overheating at idle
Cruiser overheating after idling for 5-10 minutes. Creeps up gradually and eventually approaches the red. I verified that it's not just the unreliable gauge with an infrared gun so that can be ruled out. I just had a lot of items replaced including the carb rebuild; I need to have the carb tuned...
