Evening Folks
I am soon fitting a cooling fan as a back up which I will have running off a fused permanent supply. I will keep the mechanical fan and plan to have the electric fan coming on only above normal running temperature. I assume if the system is very hot, it will run on after the ignition is turned off, but I assume as it is switched from the top hose sensor it will not run on too long.
My problem is when I do short 4 ish mile trips to the shops the water has not reached normal temp but the exhaust manifolds have got very hot and 15 mins later when I try to start her she is a bit reluctant to start.
I plan to have a push button that sets a timer to run the fan for a predetermined time to get rid of the hot air around the carb.
My question is how long do you think I should run the fan? I am thinking 2 mins.
Any ideas would be gratefully noted.
