What should the engine temperature be? PDF Print E-mail
What should the engine temperature be?  The right engine temperature will vary widely, depending on the air temperature, fuel used, altitude, driving style, air flow conditions of the body and several other factors. There is absolutely no way anyone can tell you an ideal engine temperature. It is generally accepted that a proper range of temperatures is between 95 and 115 degrees Celsius (or about 205 and 240 degrees Fahrenheit). The biggest variable of all in measuring engine temperature is where and how the measurement is taken. Your infrared thermometer may be calibrated completely different than ours, or you may be pointing at a different spot on the head. We usually check the temperature pointing the infrared on the glow plug.

How to...

n528ms2-big.jpgHow do I start the engine?
Fill up the fuel tank and “dry-start” the engine for about 5 seconds with the carburetor in idle position and without applying the glow plug driver; this allows the fuel to reach the engine. Then apply the glow plug driver and start the engine. The engine should fire up immediately.
  If the engine does not fire up immediately, check the fuel line to see if fuel is reaching the carburetor. If fuel is not reaching the carburetor, remove the glow plug driver, cover the exhaust tailpipe and “dry-start” the engine for about 3 seconds. This will build extra pressure in the line to the fuel tank, causing the fuel to be pushed to the carburetor. Apply the glow plug driver and start the engine. Once the engine has started apply a little throttle and allow the engine to warm up to operating temperature.
