Hello all,
Bought a 94 spi last year blown up and replaced motor, and went thru entire ski, new fuel gauge, fuel float, wear ring, fuel tank, seat cover, hydro turf, fuel lines, oil lines, over heat beeper, rebuild pump, cooling lines, carb rebuild, fuel valve, voltage regulator etc. And after all this, I'm trying to test the temp switch that makes the over heat alarm activate.
I have 3 switches, the original, one used i picked up, and then a wsm new switch i recently got. I put them in a mug with water that's approximately 205-210 degree, the 2 used switches begin to read resistance on the meter, but read mega ohms, they never actually close the circuit to make continuity, the new wsm reads OL all the time. Am I testing them wrong or do I now have 3 switches that are no good? I've read that the switch should close at approximately 205 degrees, but I really havnt found that many threads about the specifics to testing them.
I put way more into this ski then it was worth, and I'm ok with that, but i don't want to burn up my rebuilt motor if it has overheat issues and the alarm never went off.
Thanks for any help.
