Hello, I had the same issue with my '86 900T. I found that there was a short in the electrical system that caused the cooling fans to not run. I had my mechanic rewire them (make sure you use teflon coated all weather copper wiring) and the problem went away. Other issues may be present but that it is a good place to start.
