[TR] 1972 Triumph TR6 spark plug question

[John Macartney]

Craig, another way to test if a 'stat is working or not is to remove it
completely. Put it in a saucepan or lab jar of warm water with a 212F
thermomenter. Bring the water up to boiling point and watch the temp on the
thermometer. At around 180deg, the stat should start to open quite fast. If it
doesn't, it's toast and needs replacing. Maybe you don't want to try this, so
just fit a new stat anyway. It's not as though they're costly and its always
useful to have a spare.
