kaw thermo switch for fan question

[Walter Mitty]

Nothing you can see moves. Book list it going on at 201-212 and off at 196 F. Sounds about right. You can check to see if it is actually working by doing the boiling water thing with some leads attached. Suspend the switch so the leads are not in the water and attach an ohm meter or circuit tester to them.

When I bought it, the thermo switch was bypassed so the fan ran all the time. Previous owner said the switch was bad. I bought a used switch off ebay and ran it sitting idle for quite a long time. All radiator hoses were extremely hot. The fan never came on. I ended up boiling water on the stove and when water started boiling, both switches made a clicking sound as if the switch was coming on. The copper sensor at the end of the switch did not move in or out like I thought it would. Has anybody on the list experience with these switches. Are they to move in or out. Both made a clicking sound as water was starting to boil. They may be good but this appears a little hot for these switches to be coming on. A few seconds after pulling them from water, they made a clicking sound as if they were clicking off. I don't want to risk burning this thing up. Any help would be appreciated. __________________________________ Discover Yahoo! Use Yahoo! to plan a weekend, have fun online and more.

I always thought I would end up with a big, black, good looking, American bike. Here I am with a rather ugly, 350 pound, green, Japanese bike having an absolute blast.Life's funny, and I'm a happy boy. Happy 4TH, folks.
