Steve,
You may be onto something with the infrared gun. I have one and I did check the temps with the gun when the gen was running at 180 degrees (VDO gauge reading) - the IR gun confirmed the VDO reading so I didn't go any further with the test.
I think next time the gen temp is around 210 degrees I will shoot the IR on the 2 hoses.
I'll post the results.
Boy, would that be a simple fix!
But why would the VDO gauge read correctly @ 180 degrees and erronously at 210?
