Dose anyone run a thermostat in there Methanol engine?
Last season had trouble getting up to temp 140 - 150* after feature.
No shroud fan is 1.5" away can pull the spacer out to 3" away.
Would seem easier to put a R. T-Stat in it?
Looking for opinions.
Thanks
We had simular issues last year and plan on running a thermostat this season. Most nights we had the radiator half covered with tape.
Seems like using a high flow thermostat woud elimanate a headache and let us concentrate on other things.
Yes. I had the same issues, though I ran a little warmer. I would suggest a 190 or 180 thermostat and if that doesn't quite get it done, wire tie a piece of aluminum in front of your shaker screen (if you have one) to cover bottom 1/3rd or a quarter of the radiator. And when the weather warms up, you can remove cover easily enough.
thanks for the info.
always run one when I ran alky.
180º threw summer months
195º in fall and spring when it was cold.
no holes added.
