The cooling system was before clean, and I cleaned and refilled it before, so I son't believe it's the issue... can't believe it's the water pump ether (but not sure). Has anyone an idea what the issue could be? Thanks.

All the 340's i have seen in the last 20 years have a gauge that only goes up to about 40% of scale when warm , the senders in the head/waterpump are getting old and have high reistance . It is normal for the temperature to go up a bit when stopped , then the fan should come on ...
