Since installing a manual choke on my 79B, I've noticed that the engine is
running at a higher temperature (1/8 inch from red). Previously, with
auto-choke, temp gauge was right in the middle. Could the mixture have
changed that much that the temp would rise?
I also have a 180 deg. thermostat installed and was about to change to a
lower rated one. Perhaps I don't need to?
