I drill more bypass holes in the t-stat to make it react quicker during warmup.

I have looked at the little bypass hole many times but why has the light bulb never lit up to drill more or bigger hole in it. I guess I must have other things more pressing on my mind at the time.
Thanks Brian for giving me a slap across the back of the head, stooge style, I'll be doing that mod myself now. Will also make it easier/quicker to bleed the air out of the water system. Wink
Cheers.

You're welcome, mate! Two .093 holes in the fixed body of the t-stat, inboard of the brass part. Works awesome!

This is the battery I use it weighs 1/2 lb.. Send me your email or text and I will send pics..

EVO2 50 $69.95
Ballistic Performance Components Part Number: 100-009
Parts Unlimited Part Number: 2113-0257
Dimensions (Metric): 52mm(L) x 52mm(W) x 84mm(H)
Dimensions (Standard): 2" (L) x 2" (W) x 3.25" (H)
Negative Terminal Location: Right
Weight: 246 grams (.543 lbs.)
Voltage (Charged): 13.6V
Amperage: 1 Amp/hour
Lead Acid Equivalent Amperage: 4 Pb-eq/Ah
Burst Cranking Amps: 80 amps
Operating Environment: -18°C (0°F) to 60°C (140°F)
Typical Applications: 50cc and under motorcycles, scooters, and ATVs.


The EVO2 50 is the smallest battery in our lineup and is intended for use in small scooters, motorcycles, and ATVs with a displacement of 50cc and under. The primary advantage of the EVO2 50 Battery is that it doesn’t discharge over extended periods of occasional use. This means you can leave your scooter or small ATV in the garage for months and as long as nothing is drawing from the battery during static use then your scooter will still start every time. This could potentially save hundreds of dollars in replacement battery costs over the life of a scooter. At a retail price of less than $70 it is usually cheaper than the lead acid equivalent. There is no special charger required, but periodic balance charging the EVO2 50 with our Ballistic Performance Components BMS charger will greatly extend the life of the battery.
