I removed my overflow bottle and pcv intake to paint the stock pvt the other day. after I reinstalled the assembly and refilled the overflow bottle with coolant I noticed air in the line. is this a big deal and will it cause an overheat?


I already started the quad up and let it idle and loosened the radiator cap to try and purge it but I still see air in the line. The top of the overflow bottle cap has a little hole in it so it doesn't seem to be a huge problem. I let it idle sitting still about 10 minutes and didn;t notice any overheating or my fan coming on.

 

I always used engine ice, work great for me. I will also use it in my Predator. They should be a purge bolt on top of the head. What I did was took it out when putting the engine ice in, when it started coming out the hole tighted it back down.

 

anyone ever removed the radiator fan and wiring? just curious I heard roomers it weighed 15 pounds.

 

I removed mine about 3 years ago.No problems with overheating at all.I run the Engine Ice also.

 

considering I noly thing I removed was the overflow do I even need to purge the system?

CED do you remember how much the radiator fan and what not weighed?

 

I think it was around 11lbs.

 

If you have the stock head,there is a bolt on top that is used to get the air out.

 

keep in mind that water wetter or purple ice or cool-aide,,
work only in the summer heat have no glycol in them,,all those stuff
work great in any atv,but doesn't run in the colder temp,,
like those days i've drained all coolant out and refill with coolanol
staight 50/50 mix,,and it run fine even better,cauze the water wetter doens't work in coldert temp is even worse,summer only stuff!
