On the 20 mile journey home it became obvious that the stat wasn't working (or perhaps not even there
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
The choke was not coming off properly, the heater blew very slightly warmed air and the temp guage never moved. I was supprised at how cold the main water pipes under the rear lid were after a 20 mile journey, the whole motor, water pipes and all, were cool to touch.
No haynes yet, is the stat in that square housing, front left of the motor with large and small water pipes coming from it, and top held on with 4 allen head bolts ?
Is it a simple gasket or should I be getting an "o" ring from the main stealers before I start ?
