luke7129 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi guys I have recently got hold of a 1995 Fantic Section 249r. It is not on the original engine because the previous owner will and truly ruined it so the new one is date stamped 94. After a few electrical problems I’ve finally got it running and the engine is sweet however I run it to see if the fans was working but it doesn’t seem to kick in. I’ve had the thermostat rethreaded into the top of the cylinder cos someone had ruined the threads. Is there anyway of testing the stat or fan to see if they actually work? Many thanks Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Easiest way to make sure the fan motor works is to join the 2 wires to the thermoswitch together, either use a short piece of wire with the correct spade teminals on the ends or just use a paperclip. I have the piece of wire in the bottom of my bag that is always with me on the bike to make sure if something does happen I can always ride back to my car especially when trail riding When the motor is running the fan should work by doing this, if it doesn't then either your fan motor or 1 of the wires is faulty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcman56 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 You can put the thermostat in water on the stove and heat. You should get continuity before water boils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
