| Have had temp overheat issues and noticed no water flow to radiator cap assembly through line going to the throttle body and the jiggle valve. I will disassemble and clean to see if it is clogged and blow air through the line. I have already had a radiator shop go over the radiator, replaced the cap and thermostat, flushed system. This is on a Kandi Viper/Silver wing reverse trike. I also just relocated the radiator to the original Kandi Viper position which is behind the right air scoop to get more air flow. That most likely has fixed the heat problem but noticed when burping the system no water flow from the throttle body line. - Attachments

| With no flow to the throttle body and the wax unit, you may experience an unusually high idle when warmed up or at least until any radiant heat soak reaches the wax unit. Aside from that, there will be no effect on cooling but obviously the higher the idle speed, the more heat is generated while idling. |
