Re: Broken gear shift lever
Yep, definitely replace the t-stat. The earlier 5.5hp version of those motors had a restrictor in the water tube that help keep the running temp up. When they added the t-stat, they removed the restrictor. Remove the t-stat and you'll be running way too cool and the motor will carbon up fairly quickly...<br />- Scott
