luckily this time it started up and puttered along for a second and then on the second start up i was able to take off and fill up

I retrofitted the 2012 water-to-oil cooler to my 2009, using the heat exchanger portion (the part that goes between the oil filter and block), and put it on its own cooling system. It has a surface mount thermostat on the upper oil pan, an electric pump to move the coolant, and a cooler/fan assembly.

I tested it out and all seems to be working as expected. It was a good day with outside temps at 90. Without the cooler the oil temp would easily go over 220 at 4,000 rpm for a short time. With the cooler the temp held a bit over 200. I can't wait to get her back on the road and see how it performs.

Glad to hear no major issue with the fuel starve, and you got running again.
