I'm getting the oveheat indicator flashing on the front panel after about 20 mins of mowing - but the mower is not obviously overheated. The over heat indicator seems to come on when the coolant at the top of the radiator reaches ~158 deg. I'm wondering if the sendor is bad or if maybe the thermostat isn't opening up completely perhaps leading to higher temps in the engine block than the radiator (or perhaps a blockage in the block).
Does anyone know if the temp sender is measuring the coolant temp and if so where? OR... does the sender measure the engine temp in some other manner? If I knew exactly where the sender is and what it is measuring I could draw some conclusions...
Thanks much for any tips,
Mike
