Greetings, all.
Sorry to bomb the lists, but Im not sure who is on what list anymore. If you get this 3 times, I apologize. The temp gauge on Lazarus seems to be reading high. While driving at speed today in 70 degree weather the gauge sat at 7/8ths. When I turn on the ignition with the engine cold, it reads about 3/8ths. I dont recall it doing that before. I thought maybe the voltage stabilizer was shot, so I hooked my analog volt meter up the power lead for the gauge. The reading cycled from 6 to 11 volts with about a = second cycle. Does that sound reasonable? It seems a bit low to me, if the average is supposed to be 10 volts. Would low voltage cause the gauge to read high? That seems counter intuitive. BTW, the gas gauge seems to be fairly close, as it read full when I finished filling the tank today. Another thought is that the temp gauge itself is bad. Does anyone know what voltage should cause a full scale deflection? Id like to test it out. Im planning to build a solid state regulator, but havent had the time yet. Yes, I know I can buy one, but rolling my own is more fun. Last, what do you folks do for a radiator if you need more cooling capacity beyond the stock 21 unit? Thanks to all.
