Barry,
What year is your Newell?
I also have been unable to get my temps down in extremely hot weather. Mid 90s to 100 degrees and my generator will run around 215 to 225.
I have changed thermostats, the water pump, & cleaned the radiator twice. After I changed the water pump and had filled it with new anti-freeze it ran at 175 degrees for 4 hours (while parked) in 95 degree ambient temps. I thought I had it licked at this point.
Then, we took a trip to North Carolina and it ran at 210 degrees in 90 ambient temps. The series 60 was running at a cool 180 degrees. I also experienced low operating temps when not moving.
In my previous 2 Newells ('87 & '93) the generator temps would match the engine temps.
I am going to contact John Clarke with Newell, maybe he can help us.
