Thanks to Ron and others for the recommendations. Joe Parlanti recommende=
d checking the voltage stabilizer=E2=80=A6I hadn=E2=80=99t really observed =
significant fuel gauge problems, so I didn=E2=80=99t think that was the pro=
blem. Out of frustration, I checked under the dash and noticed the sheet m=
etal mounting screw for the stabilizer was loose. I disconnected the batt=
ery (a fried wiring harness taught me THAT lesson!), tightened up the mount=
ing screw, and after restarting, the engine temps dropped about 30 degrees =
at the gauge. I should package and sell that magic screw driver!
Seems to be working well now and running between 175 and 195=E2=80=A6Thanks=
again to all, - G.

One adage to follow is =E2=80=93 if it=E2=80=99s not puking=
coolant, it=E2=80=99s not overheating.
You should always double check the temp of the engine to the gauge with an =
IR thermometer or other means =E2=80=93 most gauges are off some.
Seems to me I read an article about someone putting a potentiometer or a sm=
all resistor in line with the temp gauge to make it read correctly.
You might want to do a system flush. Make sure you read the Flush bottle d=
irections completely for this.
I used Prestone Flush on my 1988 Mustang recently which stated for HD flush=
run the engine for 3 hours or more which I did by driving a couple hundred=
miles over 3 days.
On my Tiger I put an overflow bottle just in front of the header tank. It=
will keep the coolant with your Tiger and not splashing on your front tire=
=2E
I also recommend that you flush and back flush the heater core. The last t=
ime I did that all kinds of sediment came out.
I need to do that again this year.

Graham, Is this a new problem or has it always been like that?
