Is BLOCK TEMPERATURE intended to be a substitute for water temperature? The installation diagram for the engine instruments does not show a water temperature sensor or gauge. When I look at the engine limitations in the manual, I see no reference to water temperature. I have installed a water temp sensor but during my taxi tests it rises rapidly to 200+ range in ten minutes or less. Without guidance on water temperature range and max temp, I have been reluctant to let it keep rising, so I shut down. The block temperature stays well within range. Does anyone use an actual water temperature taken from a sensor on a water hose? Or are you just using the sensor from the block as water temp? Trey Moran Kitfox M5 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:12:55 AM PST US From: "kirk hull" Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: Stratus Subaru - Kitfox I am running a Stratus EA-81 in my model 4. I have a temp sender mounted in the radiator. The temps should read about 180 to 200 depending on where the thermostat is set at. I am thinking you might have an issue with 1 of your senders or gauges as I am not sure how the water temp (outside the engine) could get higher then the head temp. you might also want to check to see if your cap is keeping adequate pressure on the system.
