Fan switch is a 2 wire brass unit in the lower radiator tank. One wire is hot all the time. The other wire runs to the fan. The fan is constantly grounded. When the threshold temp is reached, the switch bridges the power circuit to the fan.

Have not been going too far on the Old Drifter..into town & back(about 20 miles) and it seems to run fine..but..the other day went out and around 83 miles away from home the bike started to go slower..downshifted did not help..pulled off the road and the motor   was hotter than a pistol..let it cool down for 1/2 hour..then was able to go another mile or so to my destination. Lost my Headlights
found that was a fuse..but found the fan was not working to cool the engine. Trailered it home the next day. Pulled the fuel tank..drained the radiator..pulled off the fan and ran 2 jumpers to see if it spins..with the hot wire test the fan operated..checked all my wires..put everything back together..Still Do Not have a Fan! Any/all ideas will help...I'm Stuck! Thanks.Magoo.
