Temperature sender in GT750 J
Posted: Fri Jan 08, 2021 6:38 pm
Evening Gents, And a happy New Year to you. Having rebuilt my engine over the holidays it's back in the frame, and almost ready to start, but not filled with fluids yet, and I still have to set the ignition timing.
My question is easy, but I'm really looking for assurance, before I can fill the cooling system with antifreeze and coolant, and distilled water; what should I use to seal the threads of the Temperature sender (Thermo Gauge) and the Thermo switch for the fan in the Head?
Should I use PTFE tape, or a thread sealing compound Iike Loctite?
I know that the sealing compound Bars Leaks in the cooling system will take care of any weeping, but how do you seal from leaks and maintain electrical conductivity at the same time? What do you guys use? Is there a more modern or better product than Bars Leaks? I've actually got the genuine Suzuki pellets Suzuki LEAK END part #99000-24130 called for in the FSM, But wondering if you recommend anything else?
Thanks.
Nigel.
