G'day

Where is the thermostat located in the Rotax cooling system?


Regards

Ian




If the temperature comes up to hot quicker with the radiator part covered,
you have a stuck thermostat. For the temperature to get stabilized, where
you don't see it rising and dropping a couple of degrees as the thermostat
opens and closes, is another story. (hot soak)

The radiator should not even feel warm, until the engine temperature is
almost up to normal. Is it doing that?

The thermostat is the cheapest thing in a cooling system, also the
quickest
to go bad. I would not even consider running an engine that old without
replacing it.
