What brand and model ? If it is the sportsman that you had mentioned in the other post, spray the radiator with degreaser and gently rinse a few times on both sides. Also, check the heat sensor connection on the left hand side of the cylinder.

If the degreaser alone doesnt work, you may need to take out the radiator to clean it better. If you are having sensor problems, you can bypass the sensor so the fan goes on with your key.
