Rad fan

Hey guys what direction is the fan suppose to turning? Clock wise or counter clockwise when looking at it from the carb. My temp just stays at 195 and I'm wondering if it makes a difference. Thanks Rob

Fan should turn in the direction that sucks air from the front to the back. That your temp gauge stays at 195 is a good thing.

the fan should drop the temp about 10 degrees, then cycle off. If it stays at 195 and won't cool down you may have a plugged radiator

If it stays at 195 and the fan still cycles on and off then I'd question the gauge.
