This morning I started the thing up and the temperature guage did not move after running for a while (should have been to op. temp. by then). I shut it off, the hoses around the engine (heater, etc.) were very hot to touch/have water in them. The radiator was pretty much cold. I left it sit a couple hours in direct sun, 90+, I checked the guage and it was up a little, just below 150. I started it for a while, the guage did not move for a few minutes, then the guage went down, radiator still cold, hoses warm (big bottom hose to radiator cold). If the guage registered a little warm when it was sitting, I would think the guage is working a little at least, but if the hoses/engine were hot, and the guage was cold, as well as the radiator, I think I have a problem. If the thermostat were stuck closed, the guage should register warm, and if it were open, the water in the radiator should be a little warm, I"d think. What"s it sound like, where do I start?
