[Jr_martin_rt]

Hey guys need a bit of help here just purchased this Joyner mini sand viper from my boss not to long ago has 254 miles on it so not much use on it so far had to clean carb to get it running drained old gas out as it was sitting in storage for 4years drained the coolant added 50/50 mix to it ran a radiator flush through the system also replaced the radiator cap with a Honda cap tested the thermostat is working correctly now the issue I'm having is the coolant light turns on then the fan kicks on after the fan kicks off the coolant light goes off now what's the running temperature on these cars curious ?? I have a thermo gun the guy at the Joyner dealer told me 212 Fahrenheit that can't be possible could it ? Any help would be appreciated hate to ruin the motor as its really expensive to fix

Thank you sir. I tried to have the lady at the parts store cross if for me. She ended up selling me 7731 instead of 7734. Do you by chance know the difference in the 2 plugs

It could be the thermoswitch that is faulty.

Also make sure you rad fan is working properly. It may be working, but doesn't produce the necessary speed to cool the engine.

We had a very similar issue recently and it turned out it was a weak rad fan, so I bought 1 from 4 wheel online and problem solved.
