Hi everyone, having an overheating issue with my 05 Ranger 500. I bought it from a guy who was pretty clueless so I’m not sure what he did or didn’t do to it. I read the thread below on the 08, but I’m still not sure what to look for.
I had a carb issue last summer, so it’s been sitting. I just fixed the carb, but now it’s overheating. The light will come on about a minute after it’s fired up. The pump is working, I see coolant flowing into the radiator. There are no leaks, and I tried bleeding any air, there wasn’t any. the oil looks fine and so does the coolant. What am I missing? I can tell the head is getting hot, but the cylinder isn’t. And how full should the radiator be?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
