As usual I received not only good advice to my questions but answers to questions I did not know I had. I will defiantly be changing out my 180 degree thermostat for a 160 and drilling the flange with a 1/8 inch hole.
Hawk .. I did not even consider the radiator cap, I am running with a 4lb cap (new a year ago), what would be the reason to switch to a 7lb cap?
Scout .. I am getting a premature carbon fouling of the plugs, obviously too rich. The timing was field set right after installing the rebuilt engine. Since the engine fired up with the first turn of the key and has run very smooth since I have been reluctant to �fix what does not seem broke�. I think I will change out the thermostat and see if that produces the desired results, if not timing and carb adjustment are next.
Of course if any of you are in Maine this summer and are willing to make a house call the lobster dinner would be on me, I might even be able to arrange a Willy's Picking tour of Maine with Ryan.
