Explorer operation (2001-09-06)

Craft back in operation after changing engine and minor modifications.
 
New engine feels more silent and runs more smoothly than the old one. There are still some issues with throttle not opening fully, but that will be taken care of.
 
Operating solo everything worked as it should and now even the tachometer seems to show real figures instead of jumping up and down. New engine has electronic ignition as standard as well as automatic choke which seems to work, but i'm really skeptical about that one in long term.
 
But two onboard temp needle reached the 90C even with 82C thermostat. Some comprehensive tests are required to see wheather it's real or if the gauge or sensor is faulty. This time i'll get it fixed and won't let it just be like i did before. Temp used to be at 90C or even above and it worked and finally i didn't pay any more attention to it and ended up running at 120C for some time...
