okay, then I am currently checking on a different temp range thermostatic
control. The current on comes on a 185degF and off at 175degF. I am seeing
of one that comes on at either 190 or 195degF
I also think it may be time to change the coolant as it has turned a shade
of rust (oxidation) from inside the block. Please remember that the engine
was not use in at least a year, so I expected this.
