I do remember at GOXIII once when going uphill for several minutes with the engine working decently my temp did go a bit higher than normal but chalked it up to the elevation and engine load.
And since I am sure someone will ask what on earth were you wheeling on the golf course for
It felt like the engine was working hard. The radiator is clean (never been in dirt or mud). I was at 3000 rpms and 10mph and thought air flow could be a problem but also thought that this speed and rpm is normal for 4WL and should not create this problem unless something was wrong (IE. coolinf system). Just got back from a 7 hour drive on the PA turnpike and no temp problems. I still think something isn't right.
As for being on the golf course, I work there and with all the snow we can't get our regular equipment out to check on the things so I "volunteered" to do a recon
