i got my predator from the shop,and it leaked out the side
and overheated all the time,so i picked up a thermostat,when i took it
apart i saw what they screwed up,
the o ring sort of fits on the circumferance of the thermostat,so its rubber
on both sides,and then around the outside, they had it in just like a
gasket,sitting against the metal on one side,then the other side was metal
on metal, and the thermostat was also in sideways

one question, when i took out the thermostat,some coolant came out,so do
i need to empty all of it and refill or how do i make sure their is no air
in the system? can i run it for a bit with the radiator cap off let it run
through,then refill?


but it isnt leaking anymore,awesome,so i just wasted two weeks for a 15
dollar part

 

When I changed my coolant over to engine ice, I ran the motor with the cap off and just kept filling it until I couldn't get any more in. While still running, I put the cap back on and make sure the overflow was at the proper level. Eventually, it will pull the coolant up from the overflow to the neck.

 

thanks,i was thinking that,
now i can finally get it out again
