Listee's
I recently changed out my water pump on my 86 Westy. Since then I have low
readings on the temp gauge, especially going down long downhills and this
results in the dreaded hesitation. Seven out of ten trips wind up with the
temp guage reading very low and lots of hesitation. When the guage does reach
just below the warning light everything is grand.
I have changed out the temp sensors on the thermostat in the past year among
other things to quell the hesitation for example, AFM, digifant EFI fuel
sensors, ground wires on both heads and AFM, dielectric grease on every
connection on the engine I could find, O2 sensor.  Any Ideas? Send Help!
