Hello Barry,
I use a single oil cooler behind the left opening oft he cowling and
also use a thermostat (see attached pictures). Although the opening in
the cowling of my plane surely is much smaller than yours I do not have
any problems with this way of installation. I suppose that your
themostat is worn and needs to be replaced.
Best regards,
Peter

Betreff: Pulsar-List: Oil Cooling
I have flown my Pulsar III with dual coolers and a thermostat on it for
years and recently had problems with the thermostat not working right
and oil temps only getting up to 145 F in the winter months. In addition
to that I noticed the oil pressure would drop after takeoff momentarily
when the thermostat would open. This weekend, I took the thermostat off
and bypassed one of the coolers and the oil stayed around 220 F in
cruise. That's fine for these winter months but not good for warmer
temps.
My question is this, I have the cooler behind the opening on the pilot
side and think that the dynamic pressure is much higher on the other
side. Has anyone run a single cooler on the series II or III with
success? Have they noticed that the dynamic pressure is higher on the
passenger side? I seem to remember Ricky T. saying something along those
lines years ago.
