Subject:overheating warning light flashes immediately on 83.5 V'go
From:Woody Halsey

I am back on the list after a 2-3 year hiatus, hoping someone has come up
with a surefire solution to my chronic problem in the interim. I was away
from the V'gon for a year. Came back to the US. Started her right up w/no
problem, as a nice neighbor had kept the battery charged and turned her over
from time to time. BUT I do not dare take her out on the road (I have come
home on the back of a AAA truck too many times) b/c the temperature gauge
pegs over and the warning light begins to flash the minute I turn on the
engine. I cannot believe that the engine is actually overheating.

Any suggestions will be more than welcome.

Thanks in advance. Good to be back.
