1610D Temperature
| Maury |
The temperature gauge on my 1610D has no numeric indication, simply marks at about 25%, 50% and 75% of range. Can anyone advise what these marks might correspond to in degrees F? Also, the operating temperature seems to be almost entirely a function of ambient temperature, running around the 25% mark at 70 deg ambient and approaching 50% when the ambient is in the upper 90's. Does my machine need a new thermostat or does it not have a thermostat to control coolant temperature?

Anything between 25% and 50%, (about 150*-195*) is good.

I don't know, but maybe the marks are designed to cover a narrow range. If your rad cap is original, spend a couple bucks on a new one because those gaskets wear down. (I assume the coolant is not straight water, the fan belt is good, the system doesn't need cleaning, etc.)
