    Default 4A-C Thermostat & Temp Sensor

    Hi all,

    RWD 4A-C

    can anyone tell me what temperature the thermostat on a 4A-C opens at?

    Can anyone tell me what voltage the temperature sensor should read at 'normal' engine temperature and what position on the dash temp gauge the needle points to at that voltage?

    Cheers

    96 Degrees F, thats what is written on mine, that converts to 35.6 Celcius

    My Temp sits cruising stable on the second notch, not the red one the one before it.

    Thanks mikey,

    that's a start - will test my thermocouple meter and thermostat tomorrow.

    My gauge barely gets to the first line. Methinks this engine is running too cold and possibly why the choke is sluggish to release.

    The hot air inlet thingy on the air filter inlet doesn't seem to have the customary flex tube to exhaust manifold area.

    Can anyone tell me the specs of the Temp sensor?
