Hello All,

Thanks you both for you sound advice!

I took the thermostat housing off and it was bone dry on the engine side?! I filled it up about a month ago?! Put in a new 192 degree thermostat and a new seal, and a bead of RV blue silicone as the fit wasn't as snug as I'd like it.

I ran the engine with the cap off let it idle and rev'ed it up a bit...
Bumped up the dizzy a hair- it didn't over heat

There was some coolant in bottle, but well below the min mark, and the rubber inside the cap is rotting. I smeared it with RV blue too for the time being.

Thanks a ton! Now I can go back to sorting out my taillights!


Cheers,
