Hey everyone....just ran into an issue here with my 250b. She is a 2008, and was bought by the previous owner in 2010. I bought it four days ago, and started a complete fluid change, and overall checkout of the bike. Everything good so far, but had some issues while draining the coolant. Previous owner still had the Chinese cool aid in there, and surprisingly enough, she was running just fine on it. I wanted the real deal coolant, so I began to flush her. Opened the radiator cap (under seat just above the carb.), and then opened the coolant drain on the water pump housing (lower most screw). Fluid came out ok......and then filled her with water. Ran the scoot again with radiator cap off and drain screw screwed back in. I noticed that I wasn't getting anything from the fan turning on, or for that matter,....not being able to add in more water.
I then turned the scoot off, opened the drain screw, and then blew out all the coolant/water by using compressed air (from a weak electric blower used to blow up air mattresses) positioned on the radiator fill. Tons of old coolant came out......more than I put in. I then tried to fill the coolant up again, and she didn't take anywhere near what came out. I then started the scoot, and was able to put some more water in,.....but the fan didn't turn on. She just kept climbing up in temperature though. I repeated this process again one more time, and still nothing. Fluid does come out of the drain plug after she runs, but not a lot at all.
What's going on here? I know it could the thermostat, but how does the temperature get read on the dash, but the fan not kick on?! Please help ya'll!! Scoot has 1,000 miles.
