Well, so i have taken it around the block 4 individual trials. Just thinking less distance to push lolol.

So here are the first 3 problems.

The electronic Speedo isn't working. I confirmed that the lead is attached to the speed sensor of the TKO500. Opened up the instructions for the speedo and looks like i have to calibrate it. I have to map out exactly two miles. supposedly if i have to stop at a stop sign, it shouldn't interfere with the calibration. hope that right.

The clutch pedal engages at almost to the floor. hoping i can adjust that clutch. My seat is as far forward as it can go. My mothers short legs lol.

My cooling fan isn't turning on. That's what's preventing me from doing longer runs. It did turn on once but it has never turned on again. So my Cooling fan sensor is located right on the upper hose in an inline housing. The housing is aluminum. I'm wondering if this housing should be grounded. but it did turn on once. confused. Any thoughts? I used the Ron Francis wiring harness.

Thankyou
Nelson

Nelson,

Yes the Speedo needs calibration and no, stops signs and lights won’t affect the calibration.

Clutch, hydraulic or cable? Both can be adjusted.

Try taking the green wire off the sender and grounding it. If fan comes in, I would suspect sender. If it does not, check fuse and wiring.
