99 Johnson 60hp-3cyl.
Told dealer that I wanted to check thermostst and replace- he only sold me part# 436195, which appears to be Vernatherm and Pin.
QUESTIONS:
1. Once I removed the cover and large spring, I can't get the rest of it to budge. I can pull on that center copper/brass piece and the only thing that happens is the large rubber seal just flexes outward and nothing moves. Probably some salt corrosion. Should I just keep pulling and will that make it come out?? I would probably need a new rubber seal then( large round rubber flexing thing that vernatherm inserts into). The manual illustrates someone just lifting it out. Mine won't budge.
2. Is the Vernatherm and Pin the only parts that you would normally replace when servicing the thermostat ? My engine runs a little warm at time, has tripped the power pack before. Water pump appears to work very well. I'm just trying to eliminate this as an issue.
