I took my quad out for the first real run since I bought it for my kids, and the temp light came on and coolant was releasing out of the over flow bottle/tank. As I would speed up, I could get the light to go away, but as soon as I slow down, it comes back on. Heres the deal:
The fan doesnt turn on until the temp light just about comes on or is on
Here are the things ive done or checked:
1) Radiator fins are clear of debris/mud
2) Thermostat replaced
3) Head gasket replaced
4) New thermo switch
5) Radiator "burped" of air
Anyone have any thoughts? Would a radiator cap at 15lbs instead of 13lbs cause an issue?
