cooling on viper

[09nytro]

I can't get any coolant out of the bleeder on top of head where the carb heater valve is . I lift the back up & got the air out with the rear bleeder i don't know y its not coming on head .

maybe the hole is plugged ?

maybe the carb heater valve is preventing coolant and or air from reachin gthe bleeder.

also, dumb question but, is the sled running when you crack the bleeder ?

I have an SRX not a Viper so I'm not all that familier.

sorry, my 2 cents. good luck.

I did it running & not running still nothing . maybe not the right thing to do but i put compressed air to it to see if it is pluged & it was bubbling at tank . Allso pulled carb heater hose off coming out of hose but not the head

you may have to pull out the knob 3/4 to unblock the bleed hole..

 

[09nytro]

ok i will try that the man doesnt say any thing about doing it

 

[daman]

I know it doesn't.....it just states turn the knob to the on positing

 

[09nytro]

I will try it . should i lift the front up u think

 

[daman]

yes if you get flowing coolant.

 

[09nytro]

thanks daman . it worked coolant coming out not very fast but it is . I all so pulled the carb hose off & rocked it & it started flowing then put the hose back on & started flowing out bleeder like i said not vary hard but flowing . I think i got it wife will be happy she can ride ( doesn't like riding the polaris )

 

[daman]

don't have to flow fast or allot just to let the air escape,keep an eye on temps and coolant level.

 

[09nytro]

will do thanks again

 

[daman]

i sometimes wonder if the coolant doesn't come out the hole because its so small and if there is an air lock in the line??
