On the way back from victor (35 degrees celsius), the moke gauge went up to 200 farenheit, but when I pulled over the engine was only luke warm to touch on the rocker cover, with no hissing noises, and the radiator has not lost any water, was totally full. Obviously it is not overheating, but the gauge seems to rise with the outside temperature, anyone suggest why, or how to overcome the problem?


P.S It runs perfect, and it is the right sender unit with the right resitance ect....
Do I just put it down to another mini phenomenon!

Unplug your gauge.

If your not losing water don't worry to much.
If your worried flow test your radiator and change your thermostat.
