With thiscooler weather my 1500 MG midget engine has been running cool. It has a180deg F thermostat. When cruising down the highway (45-55 mph), theengine will run @ around 140 to 160F. In town it will get up to 170-180F. I have already swapped out with new thermostat and engine still does samething. The radiator has a thermostaticcontrolled electric fan set to turn on @ 185F. Shouldn't the thermostat with an opening temp @ 180F keep engine at thatmin temp?
Any thoughts?
I have done apressure test of the system and the cap and it holds 15psi.
During thesummer I would be having temps running @ 200-210F (especially going uphill @45-55 mph). Typically the engine would be running @ 180-190F.
Any thoughts?
Temps have beenconfirmed with a laser thermostat.
I have madesure that the system is bled to get air out also.
