did you calibrate the coolant temp sensor? dip in boiling water while
hooked up as-is. plug hole with 1/8" NPT. single or two wire sensor?
right after thermo?
what's your oil temp? without good airflow thru the cowling, the muffler
puts a lot of heat in the cowling. i saw similar temps for a few of my many
configs, either got good water and high oil or good oil and high water.
stock zac stratus cowling with bottom open?
