Mjk1040, I’m thinking your right. I’ve ordered me t’stats and gaskets. I may try disconnecting the chokes and see how that works. Love the help this forum brings. If I am not on a boat, I want to be talking about boats. Wife says I’m weird!

I believe you’re right. I ordered new t’stats and gaskets this morning. I may disconnect the chokes and see how that works. Thanks for the advice. Love this forum and all the experience ya’ll bring to the table. If I’m not on my boat, I want to be talking about boats. Wife says I’m weird!

One thing I did wonder was that my engine runs about 110 degrees and the cooling thermostat opens. They are raw water cooled. I wondered if the thermostat would get warm enough to work correctly. If there is an exhaust passage just below them, I’m sure it gets plenty of heat right there.

They may be new, but are they good and working properly?? Also, they do need to be adjusted so they pull the butterfly open the correct amount after the engine starts.
