rad temp
Hi Rob....thanks for the quick response...your right.....I should be enjoying the jeep which I am....almost every warm/dry day my wife and I go out for a 10-20 km drive....the jeeps driveability is a little better after I adjusted the carb mixture-smoother after 1/8 turn counter-clockwise (leaner) as you had explained.
However, as I want this jeep to live a long life with the engine it has I need to know the true engine temp (if the gauge/sending unit is bad it could be reading temps past 200 F and I will never know) as well as the true oil pressure (pressure gauge now reads 50 psi after start and after about 10 min of driving but then after a few more min reads 20-30 psi when driving)....so I am somewhat anal when it comes to true engine operating parameters.
Another question...I shift by sound and jeep vibration....I usually shift to 3rd at around 25 MPH (if gauge is somewhat accurate) but get a mild shudder until about 35 MPH....is shifting to 3rd at 25 MPH lugging the engine?....when are your shifts?
Many thanks,
les
