I was brush mowing and noticed that the temp guage was about 1/2 way after about 1 hour in 90F degree. Is this normal?
When I bought it last year, I had accidently overheated, being new and not paying attention I immediately shut it off as soon as I noticed. This was about 8 months ago. I noticed it today running half way and topped out the radiator. I had to add about 2 pints of 70/30 (radiator fluid to water) and then filled to resivoir to the appropriate level. The radiator fluid in there was probably 50/50 from when I bought it. I let it cool down and ran it again. It pretty much stayed 1/2 when the sun was shining (90F degrees) and dropped a little when the clouds rolled in.
Should I worry about it?
Thanks in advance.
By the way, I love my b7500. My next thing I'm thinking of doing is installing a top-and-tilt...some day. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
