L2350 again

[JDubya]

Just got it back from the shop and no more bubbles in the radiator. Everything looks good so far.

They checked it and wasn't overheating, I mowed.with it a bit when I got home and checked the head with a cheap infrared gun.

Near the exhaust manifold was showing 220ish and near the bolt that is removed from the head where the temp sensor would go is showing 210-215.

The head passed the 'spit' test and didn't boil off on either side.

Popped the cap off and a little bit of fluid came out, maybe a cup full. Still running and cycling.

Bad temp gun maybe?

220ish doesn't sound bad on a head reading. And depending on where the temp reading is taken, they can very drastically.

Have you checked the coolant to see what the temperature is reading

I didn't.think about it until it had already cooled down. It wasn't boiling, really didn't seem too hot to the touch

I'll check it tomorrow

Measure the upper radiator hose and the lower hose. The difference will indicate how it's cooling.

Sounds like your fine, unless it's a high dollar infrared gun, it's probably just off a little.

Super high dollar...it's a smap-on

Not really, just a cheap off eBay. I think it was less than 7 bucks delivered.

Ran it again today and the 0.7hr old tach stopped working.

Temp at head was hitting 230-240

Top hose was 180ish

Bottom was 145ish

Coolant was 185-195 in the radiator, did hit 214 when I first shot the laser at it. I think it picked up something else though because it was pretty solid at staying right around 192.
