8v92 6v92 two stroke basics

Tommy: When you said you had changed thermostats to turn on fan
sooner, the fan is controlled by the Alarmstat. Did you actually
change the thermostats? There are two of them. You can get them at
180 degrees or 170 degrees.

You may also have a faulty sending unit or guage.

my Bird consistently shows oil temp above 240 and most nearly 300. I
have done an inframe overhaul which included a new radiator and
changed the thermostats so that the electric fan would switch on
lower. All to no avail. The only way to keep the temp anywhere near
normal is to run the fan.

I should not worry, but I can't help but to keep my eyes on oil temp
most of the time. One mechanic Even said that the temp sensor was in
the wrong place.
