I'm still researching this but thought I'd ask anyway.  I've a Spal pusher fan 
with a thermostat from years ago I never installed.  Deciding to install it 
because the 3 is running fine at thermostat temp on the road, but shortly after 
I shut down in this heat it barely starts again and runs rough until the float 
bowls clear. Letting the fan run after shut down ought to help keep the float 
bowls from overheating. 


Awhile ago I installed SunPro electric temp guage and sending unit.  So 
question.  Can you use the same temp gauge sending unit as the temp sensor for 
the fan also?  The temp gauge sensor uses some sort of resistance affected by 
heat, I suppose, but whether the fan reads it the same as the gauge is puzzling.


Thanks, everyone (again!)
