[QUOTE="pidjones, post: 222710, member: 3026"] A couple Hunley updates. Started her up three days ago to make sure she was ready for taking to the Time Warp bike night - fired right up. Later, I rolled her out again getting ready to go and just got a click click from the solenoid and the voltage didn't wiggle. Rolled her back in and took the Spyder instead. Yesterday I swapped solenoids BACK to the old (still a Chinabay) one that I had cleaned up. Fired right up. Rode her this morning into town and gassed up (still a gas hog) then rode home trouble-free. So, I'll take this solenoid apart and see what its issue is (probably crappy contacts). The other report is on the digital temperature gauge. It is pretty random at higher temps. When I got home, it was bouncing from 220 to 238 F. I'm not so concerned with the bouncing around as the water flow at that point is being throttled by the thermostat. I left her idling and grabbed my two IR thermometers. I could find no point on the thermostat housing, water pipes, radiator, radiator hoses, heads or block that read higher than 202 F (and that was in ONE spot) most read 160-180 F. Header pipes read ~520 F. I've tried to press the connector onto the sensor better. Will check it again when the weather cools some. Hunley doesn't overheat, but I do! [/QUOTE]
