zachwells229x Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Is it over heating? You probably just over filled the radiator? Sent from my Z812 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 coolant expands when it gets hot, has to go somewhere. As long as you look in the cap and there's fluid cover the tubes, you're OK. But keep an eye on it anyway for a while. You not running the overflow bottle?

Jogon30 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Yeah thanks guys I don't think I'm overheating, but I'm a install a temp gauge and the quad runs fine and when I check the radatior there is plenty of fluid. Don't know what's going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Well, when the coolant gets hot it expands... If it was full to the top when cold, it will be over full at operating temp and coolant will need to escape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 What he said ^^ When I know my coolant is at a normal level, and I am spewing out of the overflow... I know I need to give her a break. It is my temperature sensor so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
