I’m not able to test my setup prior to a trip out west so doing some consulting. Question may be applicable to KTM as well.
Installed PST carb heater. On the beta, the stock coolant bypass (factory 125F thermostat) dumps into bottom of the left rad, through the bottom tank, into the right Rad, through that tank, then to the water pump suction. That’s a lot of mixing. I’d like to tee into the water pump suction line, but there is basically no room. If I could get a fitting installed, I am 100% sure the coolant line will be rubbing/pushing on the pipe.
Question is, will I be ok returning the coolant back like factory into the radiator or do I need to rig something to return it directly back to the water pump? Firsthand experience appreciated. On the positive side weather looks in the upper 20’s a week from now while we will be there.
