YM1700 vs YM1700B, What's the difference

[1danny]

Danny I think your right, I do have a water pump, steel gas tank. The Temp sensor, I don't think is working becase it gave me no indication the radiator was going to blow. Got the radiator boiled out and fixed for $50 bucks. The bypass water hose was kinked and restricting flow. Everything seems ok now, maybe need a new sensor, it's still not moving. I can tell its running cooler.

Bought it 3 weeks ago and no telling what kind of care it got.

If you don't have the correct sending unit, the needle won't even move.

I have a B model. They were made one year, 1979. Some of the differences I have noticed are increased floorboard and fender coverage, nicer seat with a sliding track, updated fusebox with automotive type fuses, clutch safety switch, more engine side panel coverage, metal gas tank with chrome fuel cap, metal hood latches, different radiator and overflow bottle. Engine decrompression knob is a different set-up also. You should have an instrument panel instead of idiot lights. Spline count on steering wheel is different too I think.

Nice units all the way around.
