Just buy and install the updated temp sender. All coaches should get this update. Not expensive. With a 195 Flowcooler stat, that puts the needle at about 1/3 when sitting on the stat throttling point.
A basic go/ no go clutch test is you should have fan roar for first 60 seconds at least, after sitting overnight. This is because the silicone fluid redistributes by gravity partly into the working chamber. With the temperature spring cold the valve will be set to have the rotation pump the fluid back to the non working chamber. This takes a minute or so. If no fan roar at cold start fast idle, clutch may have lost too much fluid or be defective.
