Subject:HELP! Van trouble on the road near Philly
From:Doug Alcock

Hi gang,
Making this short --- borrowing net access from campground owner. Lost
a tee connection in coolant system. Fixed it and re-filled coolant and
bled system. Cooling fan wouldn't come on. Ran wires to a switch on
the dash so I can turn ithe fan on when I want to. Engines overheats
when I idle for longer thana few minutes --- even with the fan going.
Does anyone have any sort of explanation for this. I have an 84 Westy
with an I4 conversion in it. HELP. Also -- could someone lookup and
send me shop recommendations near Green Lane PA --- 45 miles NW of
Philly.

Thanks in advance,
Doug

PS --- I'll be able to check e-mail this evening
