Here is a view looking down on the benny-weeny can. sonny <///><

here is a different angle of the benny-weeny oil can tester , i used 30 weight motor oil. it's a small beeny-weeny can of beans i picked up at wal-mart, o yah , I did eat the beeny-weenys. the screen holding the thermo switch and is a small sink strainer with the center cut out and it fits the...

I am not sure the upload worked for the beeny-weeny oil can tester , let me know if it did. I wanted to copy and paste but system would not let me. sonny <///><

Praise the Lord It's running great. The oil testing the thrmo switch showed the problem with the 81 part so it now has a 83 used part and the fan works and it does not over heat, amen. I will let it cool and test it again after lunch. Thank you all for your input. Sonny <///><

Boy , thanks for all the ideas to check. I did put in a new thermostat , yesterday I used a can and a wire to hold the thermo switch ,used motor oil and heated it on my camp stove. I found the 81 switch took 3 times longer to turn on than 2 other thermo switches I have off of an 83 bike. So...

I did the fan test with rad cap off. I could see the pump surge as I reved it but it soon started to steam up and spit out antifreez. still the fan on the bike nevers comes on and the heated oil test showed the switch was good. Boy I hate to pull the heads , just yesterday replaced the belts...

I do have a shop fan I can try your test. I did all the obvious replacement of parts but did not try with radiiator cap off. I am hoping it's not a blown head gasket. what would be a way to test for a head gasket ? thanks for your input. sonny <///><

Sorry you are having problems with your wing. I work on my wings , I have a 81,82 Interstate and an 83 Aspencade I just purchased w/ 21000 miles, working on it. I run mobile 1 10/40 motorcycle oil in my bike and serve me well. some times we forget to shut off the gas and it gets in the oil and...

Welcome , hope to see your progress as you rebuild your wing. I also have a 1981 Interstate that has 34000 on it now , had 29000 when I purchased it, have been working on it for past 2 years. Not because it's hard to work on just looking for parts and money problems. I have found 3 problems...

I am not sure how well the chin shin will wear but it looks good so far and like I said it was on the bike when I got it, will keep you posted. I am going to get a 491 for the front soon and as soon as the continental tk 16 and 17 are in the USA again I want to get them. sonny <///><
