582 running cold
in 2 Stroke Technical Questions
7 years ago
I have a blue head on an Xair with 100 hrs. In Queensland I run a 70:30 water:glycol mix in Summer. I noticed the engine was starting to have trouble getting up to temp on first colder days of Winter so reverted to my Winter mix of 50:50. Engine still had trouble maintaining 60 degrees Celsius unless on full revs (70 degrees). Tested both temp gauge and thermostat both of which operated perfectly. Have been operating a couple of years with no problems. Any ideas what might be causing this?
