Hello,

First I want to clarify that the difference in temperature in my previous post was in Fahrenheit not Celsius.

82°C is a bit hot for a carbureted engine.

I use a 70°C thermostats for carbureted engines.

Make sure you get the correct style of thermostat.

It is critical that the thermostat has a round disc attached to the bottom of the center shaft.
