Glenn,
My '79 Spit (with factory electric fan/ slant radiator [recently boiled],
two leaking tubes bypassed) shows about 1/2 scale temp reading when moving,
and 3/4 scale when the fan radiator cuts on. That's mid-80-'s temps outside.
If your temp rises when the engine is working hard, check or replace the
radiator cap, or have a gas station check the pressure of your cooling
system.
Is it the season for the Radiator Theory Thread on the Triumphs list? I
guess so.
